Peanut Butter...

Jelly! Oh no, wait, I meant, "Peanut Butter Cookies!"

Oh we love peanut butter in our house. And as much as I love fresh, homemade products, I love Jif Peanut Butter. It is my favorite. And I have to have smooth. I use to use a peanut butter cookie from back in school but one day, I couldn't find it. In one of my magazines was an ad for Jif WITH a recipe! So since College, I have been making this recipe. And I love these cookies more than the ones I  had made, down to the criss-cross tong marks from the fork! 

Question is, do you prefer smooth or chunky?
