Classic Peanut Butter Cookies

Can’t go wrong with a good peanut butter cookie.  I don’t make these enough usually the kids want chocolate chip but yesterday they were pleasantly surprised  with these yummy cookies.  I got the recipe out of the cook book “Where Hearts Gather” that I really enjoy because it’s down home cooking.  The author of the cookbook gives all her family favorites from Grandma to herself.  I have tried many of the recipes all have been good.
