I love peanut butter. Really, really love peanut butter. I would estimate that peanut butter and fro yo make up about 50% of my daily caloric intake. When I read this recipe, I became obsessed. There was no stopping me from making it, other than the fact that I had no eggs in my refrigerator. Now that that particular problem has been remedied, viola: the easiest peanut butter cookies.

Recipe after the jump…
