Chewy Salted Peanut Butter Cookies

The BEST Peanut Butter cookies you’ll ever make! These cookies are crisp on the edges and chewy in the center and topped with flaked sea salt that just seals the deal!

You will love these peanut butter cookies not only because they tastes great, but they are so quick and easy to make! (Usually I can put them together before the oven even heats up!) There aren’t many ingredients and most of which you probably already have in the kitchen. You could also make this cookie your own by adding in some extra bits (cue the flaked sea salt from me.) My husband argues to put chocolate chips in everything, but you could also try chopped up peanuts, m&m’s or maybe even swirl in some jelly?? I haven’t tried it, but now I think I’m going to!
