Aunt Kim’s Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies

My Aunt Kim was so special to me. I know there aren’t a ton of aunt-niece relationships that are super close, but we were. Her, me, my mom and grandma were inseparable when I was little. Kim passed away of cancer when I was 10, and it was a tragedy. This cookie recipe was found in a folder and I’ve never made it before 2019. They are THE BEST!!!

Easy, Chewy. Perfect.
