If you love peanut butter, then I have the cookie for you! They boast a delicious peanut butter flavor without being overly sweet. Warning - these cookies are incredibly crunchy, so if you're looking for a chewy cookie look elsewhere. The crunchy outside plus smooth center equal one great sandwich cookie.
