Soft Peanut Butter Cookies

I think that every family should have a "go to" peanut butter cookie recipe that's easy to whip up with ingredients that you have on hand. No special fancy nuts, or sugars, just a plain classic peanut butter cookie. This is my favorite recipe, I love how it stays soft and chewy. I really dislike hard crunchy cookies! 
This recipe is really easy to remember once you make it a couple times. Please give it a try and let me know if you like it too!
