In the 10/5/09 newsletter Pauline Pa wanted recipes
for soft peanut butter cookies. Here is the recipe that I use and it is a big
favorite of the family. Don?t over bake the cookies. If you do over bake and the
cookies are hard put a piece of bread in the cookie jar or container. The
cookies will draw the moisture from the cookies and soften. This works with any
cookie.
