“I always say stick with the classics. And this cookie recipe is very good. They're soft and full of peanut flavor. This recipe calls for unsalted butter. But you can of course use regular butter in it. Don't waste your money and buy unsalted butter just for cooking. Once the cookies are baked. Cool them on a sheet of tinfoil, and not a cooling rack. They're too soft and will fall through it. Enjoy.. ;)”
