Peanut Butter Cookie

I have decided to revisit this recipe and improve upon the look of it. I rolled the dough out on parchment and used a 2" cutter. Half of the batch received chocolate chips and the other half I filled with my strawberry jam. If you like, you can add crushed peanuts to the dough, or crunchy peanut butter for more peanutty flavour. These are a snap to make and I love them. I used a natural peanut butter... one without sugar or preservatives, and a darker brown sugar to give them a nice flavor. If you are using nuts in the recipe, you may need to hand form each cookie. Use a small scoop for a uniform size. Try them, I'm sure it won't be the last time you make them!
