 My house loves cookies more than most other desserts, but these PB Cookies are the most requested.  Thank goodness, because they are the easiest to make. LOL!

That is it! It says it makes approx 5 dozen, but I have never gotten 5 dozen out of it.  🙂  Maybe my cookies are too big 🙂

How do you keep the fork from sticking into the dough?

When you’re making the criss-cross pattern, using chilled dough can help! When it’s colder the fork may not stick to the dough. You can also add some flour to the fork so that when you are pushing down on the dough while it’s on the baking sheet, it doesn’t stick.
