I wouldn't lie to you - these are absolutely the best peanut butter cookies in the world. I don't share this with anyone, but I assume you won't sell my closely guarded secret. ;) They're very soft when they come out, so you'll want to let them cool a bit on the cookie sheet before removing them.

To the same bowl, add the egg, peanut butter, vanilla, and cinnamon. Mix them together well. In another large bowl, sift together the flour and baking soda. Mix the two together.

Sprinkle the tops lightly with sugar and press with a fork in a crisscross pattern. Bake for ~12 minutes. There should be very little colour change, and the cookies should be soft.

I am not much of a cook- and all these sound like great recipes-but all I have to offer is a website you can check out if you havent heard of it-I look for alot of recipes on it-it is called epicurious.com Also-my dad bought a huge box of cookie mix at Sam's Club and those were good-I dont like hard cookies either-so when I bake cookies I tend to leave them not all the way done-just very lighty brown. Isnt that why you dip Oreo's in milk-to make them soft? Who wants hard cookies?

Your husband will love these - mine did and ate them all with a gallon of milk, besides.

The peanut butter cookies that I end up baking quite often.. I have found to not only be moist, but just have such a great taste to them.. You can really taste the peanut butter from the cookies & every time I end up making these cookies.. When we have company over people will want to actually take some home with them because they are just amazed at how wonderful these cookies taste. Within two - three days they are honestly all gone. And I've made 2 batches before so that is indeed a lot of cookies for one to go through.. I recommend these ones if you like moist cookies, that are full of flavor! I find if you allow them to cool & harden slightly that they taste even better.. As if you end up having one right after baking them they tend to not only fall apart.. But they also can be to over-whelming since the peanut butter taste is rather rich when just eating them after they are baked. If you end up trying this recipe I hope your husband, as well as everyone around you enjoys them as much as we do within our household! . . "Peanut Butter Cookies."
