Peanut Butter Cookies

Let me say straight off that these peanut butter cookies are delicious, they are one of the tastiest cookies I've made in a long time. So, I really do recommend you giving these a bake when you have a spare 30 minutes, as they just take 10 minutes in the oven, and are just lovely. ...
