# Hashtag Peanut Butter .
When I was young, we just called them peanut butter cookies. In the era of #-this, #-that, it only makes sense to call them out for what they are. Hashtag cookies.
Natural peanut butter (whose only ingredients are peanuts and salt) lend a highly textured cookie.
These cookies embody smooth, chewy peanut butter taste. Not to sweet, not overly peanuty, these are smooth and warm and leave you wanting just . . . one . . . more.
