My Mom made Peanut Butter Cookies for us kids often during my childhood, just like many Moms of her generation for an after school snack. They were a favorite of Dad's too. When my sisters and I were old enough to bake, we started making Mom's Peanut Butter Cookies. Today is a perfect warm cookies and milk kinda rainy and snow day here. Thanks for a great recipe Mom, I'll have one or two cookies in memory of those baking days of long ago.
