Grandma Bray’s Peanut Butter Cookies

Today’s cookie is my dad’s FAVORITE: peanut butter cookies. On the 4th day of December, I bring you my Grandma Bray’s peanut butter cookie recipe. This recipe makes a classic peanut butter cookie with crispy edges and a slightly chewy center. These are THE BEST. I gave these babies a festive spin with some fun green and red sanding sugar!
