Peanut Butter Cookies

Ben's birthday was last month (his last SINGLE birthday at that!).  I love to make people's favorite dessert for their birthday whether it's ice cream, cake, cookies, mousse, whatever!  One of Ben's all time favorite desserts is peanut butter cookies.  Not to brag, but I have a pretty darn good, fail-proof recipe for them!  They are light and crispy with a nice peanut flavor!  Yummy!!!
