Super easy Peanut butter cookies

My oldest son is quite fond of peanut butter, and he asked me several times to make peanut butter cookies. To be honest I wasn't too sure it would be any good, so I postponed a bit.... but he kept on talking about it,  so I finally took the time to search the internet and settled for a recipe that looked simple enough.  And was I surprised ! Not only was it super easy to make, but the cookies were really good. 

So I'm sharing the recipe here, I just cut off a little of the sugar from the original as I thought it would be a bit too sweet.

I used crunchy peanut butter, but I think you can use any peanut butter you have available.
