To shape these cookies, just flatten each dough log with a fork, the pinch in the center before baking.—Kristen Proulx, Canton, New York

The cookies didn't have a whole lot if peanut butter flavor to me. I think the next time I make these I will add peanut butter chips to them. However the next day my cookies were hard. I am sure this is something that I did why they turned hard.
