Peanut Butter Cookies



These are some super simple, classic homemade cookies, the dough freezes well so you can prep ahead of time or just make extra so its ready to use the next time you want it, the base recipes for these type of cookies are pretty much the same where ever you look, its more a mater of what you bring to it that gives it your own distinctive flare, you might add nuts, you might add chocolate or other type of chips, you might add fruit, or jelly, or any combination there of, in this case I have baked two types of cookies both of which have peanut butter in some form in them, at any rate I have made these cookies several times before, and the recipes work great and they will hold for 1 or 2 weeks stored in a sealed container, they also freeze well

If you are baking peanut butter and jelly cookies when the dough has been mixed remove half the and add 150g macadamia nuts to the mixer, mix to combine then add jelly (recipe follows)
