My absolute favorite peanut butter cookie recipe. Dough freezes well. The perfect chewy soft center with slight crisp outside and intense peanut butter flavor. I like to add a crunch of salt once they come out of the oven. I have added chocolate chips to half the batch several times for a Reeses feel. Almond extract also plays well here. Sally is correct about crunchy pb, it dries out the cookie. Important to not overbake at all, let cool on the tray after minimal time and they will come out perfect.
This one was not it, chief. I don't know if it was the cheap Aldi coffee I used or what. May try on another cheap cut with a good coffee to see how that turns out before writing this one off as a no-go
