Quick Peanut Butter Cookies

SUBMITTED BY: Vicki Douglas  PHOTO BY: Emily 

"I had to make cookies at the last minute for a school function and a friend gave me this quick and easy recipe. From start to finish, this only takes about 30-45 minutes and the taste is like you spent hours in the kitchen. You might want to make a double batch, because they will be gone before you know it. ENJOY!!"
