**This is a wonderful recipe for basic peanut butter cookies! It came from my mom, who is a GREAT cook! Since Macie LOVES peanut butter, we make these often:-) I recommend chilling the dough if you have time~it improves the texture of the cookie~ but they will still be delicious even if you don't have time! Also, the thing I LOVE about cookie dough is that it freezes VERY well for later use. I usually bake half the dough, and then freeze the other half for another day! Enjoy!

To freeze: Place unused cookie dough on plastic wrap or wax paper and roll into a "log" shape. Next, wrap dough in aluminum foil and then freeze. When your ready to bake, remove dough, thaw, and bake as directed.
