Note: Good Prep video for this recipe on website. Very helpful tips/suggestions from reviews of this recipe available on website. *Tip from reviewer: Because the dough is made with butter, chill the dough till somewhat firm and you won't end up with thin cookies...no need to add more flour. Several suggested adding 1 tsp. vanilla as well as increasing the amount of peanut butter.
