I've had it with tough dry peanut butter cookies. These are tender, chewy, and really taste of peanut butter. They make a pretty addition to a holiday cookie plate.

How to make it
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Melt 1 stick butter and put the other in the same container to soften, about 5 m.
- Cream butter with sugars until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating until smooth after each.
- Add vanilla;
- Add peanut butter!
- Using a shield guard if your mixer has one, add dry ingredients and beat briefly but hard until combined.
- Chill dough 20 m.
- Form dough into walnut-sized balls; place on a greased/Silpat-lined cookie sheet; mash crosswise with a fork to flatten.
- Bake 8 min--should still be quite soft, maybe another minute if your oven is slow, but no longer.
- Top each cookie with its Reese's piece.
- Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet at least 5 m, then transfer to a rack. They will firm up as they cool. If the Reese's pieces are not firming up, set the cookies in the path of an electric fan.

You know, pie, I like most of my cookies on the softer side. It seems that they have more flavor. Who wants a cookie you have let melt away in you mouth to get flavor from it? Not me! Thanks and you got my five.
