Peanut Butter Cookies

There is a scene in Daisy Jones & The Six where the band chows down on some “special” cookies. Later, when Daisy offers Billy’s daughter, Julia, a peanut butter cookie, Billy says it’s okay if the cookies are normal. I can’t think of a more normal peanut butter cookie recipe than the one in The Better Homes & Gardens cookbook. My “new” edition was published in 1981. The current BH&G website has a different version that uses shortening, but I prefer this one that only uses butter.
