Do not take this cookie for granted! The simplicity yet complex flavor of this will make your day complete! This is what I always prepare pretty much 2 times a week. It is something that my kids love! Try eating it with a nice and cold lemon or cucumber juice. I hope this brings a smile on your face. Enjoy!

Step 3: In a small bowl, add eggs, vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup milk. Whisk until well-mixed.
Step 4: Place a saucepan on the stove and turn the heat to low. Add 1 cup of butter and melt. Add in 1 cup of peanut butter then bring to boil.
