This peanut butter cookies recipe is reminiscent of the classic old-fashioned peanut butter cookies mom used to make. In order to get the right texture for these cookies, you need to chill the dough a good three hours. Also, check the cookies carefully while baking to make sure they aren't too brown. If they get too brown, the cookies will end up crispy, not chewy.
