Mmmmm, peanut butter cookies! One of life's simple pleasures. What is it about cookies that makes them so darn appealing? I'm guessing the main reason is obvious, they are just plain delicious! I have never met a cookie I didn't like. What's not to like after all?
Peanut butter just happens to be my oldest son's favorite cookie. He puts peanut butter on his pancakes, waffles and dips chocolate cookies into the stuff! Like mother like son I guess.
I used instant pudding mix in this recipe (the secret ingredient). It does a fabulous job at keeping them moist. You can use butter or palm shortening in this recipe, or even better, a combination of both. The palm shortening keeps then tender and the butter gives them a wonderful flavor. Butter makes everything better! These cookies practically melt in your mouth!
