Soft Peanut Butter Cookies

1. Happy Late Easter!
2. I'm really glad Lent is over.
3. I love peanut butter.
4. I really really love peanut butter.

       So, I've had this trusty peanut butter cookie recipe that I've been using for a while. It's a pretty good recipe, that yields very soft and chewy peanut butter cookies, with a little crunch from honey roasted peanuts. Well, in the store the other day, as I was browsing the baking aisle, I saw some Reese's peanut butter chips. I buy them every once in a while, so I decided to pick up a pack and make something when I got home.
       Well, when I got home, I really had this urge for peanut butter. And, lots of it. So, naturally, I went online and searched for a peanut butter cookie recipe...I just wanted to change things up from my old recipe.
       Best decision ever. Now, not to diss the old cookies. They're wonderfully delicous, still. But. I. Love. This. Recipe.
      
Normally, I'm not a fan of recipes from the back of boxes and such. But, oh goodie, these are fab.
       They're so soft and sweet and peanut buttery and flaky, and have that little extra kick from the peanut butter chips. (Which I love, by the way. I could eat 4 bags of those suckers).
       So, please, go make these. And then send me some.
