My husband LOVES home made peanut butter cookies! I got tired of the same peanut butter cookie and wanted to spin it a little! The added salt does something amahhhzin to the peanut butter and plays out nicely with the honey. You won't believe your taste buds! This is what I came up with and it is dearly loved in my circle of family and friends! Hope you enjoy it as well :)
