yum that looks good, I am sure your son appreciates your efforts!
Oh, this brings back memories. My mother would bake these regularly, a sweet reminder of childhood. I can taste right now the ones that were left in the oven a bit too long but I liked the slightly burnt around the edge taste..Thanks for sharing these.
Soft Peanut Butter Cookies are my favorites...I can just imagine the beautiful memories you created for your son. He will remember this forever, and share the day with his own son someday. What a way to spend the day together.
Your recipe is a keeper and thanks for sharing. Safe travels to your Son.

Sound good and I bet both of you had a great time.
Have a great Sunday.

I love peanut butter, but not in cookies. Seems it gets a different taste when in a cookie. I am sure it is just me.

Yummy! You're such a good mama!
I am quite smitten with Peanut Butter Cookies but I love the raw cookie dough even more!!!
My Grandma Dow and I made PB cookies once while my Mom was out doin' chores. When Mom finished we had a small plate with five or six cookies. My Grandma liked the dough as much as I do!!! Heehehehe
I think of her every-time I bake Pb cookies! :o)
God bless and have a terrific Tuesday!!!
There is nothing better than homemade cookies.........especially when you go away from home! Enjoy your time with your son! blessings,Kathleen

I know this is an older post of yours, but I saw it in the sidebar, and it caught my eye, because I have the same Liberty Blue dishes! I love them and look for them in antique stores whenever I can.
Oh, and the cookies look amazing!
