The Whole Jar of Peanut Butter Cookies is a cookie so full of peanut butter, it uses the entire jar! That’s my kind of cookie!
My reliance on the internet is insane. Wireless went down. So did I.
All I could think was “What in the world am I going to do with myself???”
Bake cookies.
With lots and lots and lots of peanut butter. Creamy, crunchy…it don’t matter. It just needs to be the best peanut butter in the whole wide world for the Whole Jar of Peanut Butter cookies. Which, in my opinion, is only JIF.
Did I mention there’s lots of peanut butter in this recipe?
Like the whole jar lots.
My favorite cookies ever, to console myself from the trauma of the internet being down.
But, I’m resourceful. I grabbed my cell phone. Thank you cellular network. Phone in hand, peeking at the itty-bitty, teeny, tiny screen, I managed to eek out a batch of cookies, and share my most favorite-ist cookie ever with you, my internet friends. Because I really heart all of you.
I really, really do.
Try these cookies, and you’ll see just how much I heart you.
Enjoy!
