Contributor's Notes
My mom is not a huge fan of these cookies but I enjoy them. She thinks the honey is too much and she enjoys just plain peanut butter. I reccomend this recipe for people who love honey and peanut butter together!
I adapted this recipe from the peanut butter cookie recipe that comes on the back of the JIF peanut butter jar.
