Big, Chewy, Sweet and Salty Peanut Butter Cookies

Last week was…. well, it sure was a week.  Emotionally my head was somewhere else.  As soon as I heard about the marathon bombing my heart just ached for everyone there.  Then there was the explosion in West, Texas.  It was too much for one country in just a few short days.
