Shortcut Peanut Butter Cookies

I saw this recipe and was immediately intrigued or was it my craving for peanut butter.  I really don't know.  Either way it is simple, easy and perfect for a quick treat.  Not to mention delicous.  They are a very soft cookie and I think they were even better the next day. 
Shortcut Peanut Butter Cookies
Adapted from Kids Cook!

  3. Yummers!! These look so puffy and big!! Why does everyone criss cross with a fork on PB cookies? I like to mess people up and not do the criss crosses and they get so mad, they say "these are NOT PB cookies". Such an anarchist, huh!
