Million Dollar Peanut Butter Cookies
Have you heard of the Pillsbury Bake Off? I really need to think up something wonderful and enter someday. I heard about these, Double-Delight Peanut Butter cookies that won the million dollars and I couldn’t believe it. Really, million dollar peanut butter cookies? I mean, I love me some peanut butter, but a million dollars for it? I mean first of all, why the heck didn’t I think of that!! and second, really? I can’t believe it won a million stinking dollars! But, then I tried them…
I pretty much love these cookies! Really, they are delicious. I had them months ago and we tried them with and without chocolate. The hubby says they are delicious both ways so it just depends on if you want chocolate or not. This is doing things my own way, but it’s mostly because I prefer homemade dough vs store bought so you decide if you would rather just buy the dough. I also didn’t add the peanuts because I didn’t have any.
I really thought these would probably be alright, but nothing spectacular, but I could have eaten the whole batch. LOVE THEM!!

How Long Will Peanut Butter Keep?
An open jar of peanut butter will stay fresh for 3 or more months in the pantry.
After that, it can be kept in the refrigerator for another 3-4 months.
How Do You Soften Hard Cookies?
The easiest way to soften cookies that have gone hard is to place them in an airtight container or a zip lock bag.
Put one slice of fresh bread in the container with the cookies.
The bread will moisten and soften the cookies.
Can You Use Salted Butter Instead of Unsalted?
You can substitute salted butter if you don’t have unsalted butter.
You may want to add less salt or even leave the added salt out of the recipe.
