Chicago Public Schools Peanut Butter Cookies
Peanut butter cookies from the Chicago Public schools cafeteria were my favorite growing up family. I loved these cookies so much I searched long and hard to find the recipe.
I found it on a Chicago Tribune website and modified it a little bit to get that taste from my childhood.
Love ya!
