Peanut Butter Cookies ( Home Baker Challenge - 3 )

After completing two Home Baker Challenges successfully for this month we had to bake a cookie suggested by Viji  of Virunthu Unna Vanga .

 I was surprised at the simplicity of the recipe and yet the selection of cookies done was perfect. They were so very yummy and crunchy that I was amazed. It took me less than an hour to make these cookies from scratch.

I just loved the nutty flavour of the cookies and the buttery texture.

Thanks  priya and viji for this lovely experience...
