SALTED PEANUT CRISPS

Salted Peanut Crisps image

This is from the Betty Crocker Cookie Cookbook that my mom used until it fell apart. She made these often and now I'm carrying on the tradition. The recipe states it makes 6 dozen but I always get 4 dozen. Guess my cookies are bigger than they're supposed to be!
