Indulge in these ultra-easy, melt-in-your-mouth peanut butter cookies that strike the perfect balance between salty and sweet. With their classic criss-cross pattern and tender texture, these cookies come together quickly with pantry staples. They're deliberately pulled from the oven while soft, allowing them to achieve that ideal chewy consistency as they cool. Perfect for lunchboxes, after-school treats, or alongside a cold glass of milk! - Claude

💬 Uncle Dave says...
You will bake the cookies until almost done. They will set up and continue baking with the residual internal heat after they're pulled out of the oven.
They will be VERY soft just out of the oven so let them rest for a while; when cooled they will be firm enough to handle and quite delicious.
If your peanut butter is not on the salty side add 1/4-1/2 tsp salt to the batter.
