Re: In need of a really good pb cookie recipe

this is the best I have ever tried and make it every year.

Honest to God, the Best Peanut Butter Cookies I Swear!
Ingredients:
2 cups creamy peanut butter
2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons baking soda
A pinch of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 2 cookies sheets or cover with parchment paper.
Beat peanut butter and sugar in medium bowl with electric mixer until fluffy. Beat in eggs and then baking soda, salt and vanilla.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on cookie sheets. With tines of a fork, press crosshatches into the balls to flatten them.
Bake cookies, one sheet at a time, in middle of oven, for 10 minutes, or until they are puffy and golden brown, or about 12 minutes for crisp cookies.
Let sit on cookie sheets for a couple of minutes; then transfer to wire rack to cool.
Make about 3 dozen

(I sometimes drizzle some melted chocolate on top)

have you made peanut butter blossoms? they're super easy... and they don't spread much at all so you can really load up your cookie sheets!
