Description

These cookies are so petite and peanut buttery, you are going to love them! Oh, and don’t forget to add the extra touch of tradition! What is that, you ask? Use a fork to make the criss-cross pattern, of course!

Ingredients

  • 2 sticks Butter, Room Temperature
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1-½ cup Peanut Butter
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 2-½ cups All-purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Preparation

1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2) In a large bowl, mix together the butter, sugars and peanut butter.

3) Add eggs, flour, baking soda and vanilla extract.

4) Place teaspoon-size balls of dough on a prepared cookie sheet. Flatten balls by pressing down on them with a fork, making a criss-cross pattern.

5) Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

Just be careful with the baking time. These little guys cook fast and there’s nothing worse than a rock-hard peanut butter cookie!

They weren’t as soft as I thought they would be, although tasty. Not overly sugary, which I like. They were crisp on the outside, and more “crumbly” on the inside than soft.

My daughter wanted to bake some PB cookies yesterday, so she looked online and found a recipe to try….they were….ok. ;) When she wanted to try again today, I suggest that we look here for a different recipe. Found this one….they are perfect!! Crisp on the outside and still soft inside..exactly what a PB cookie should be. We used a size 60 cookie scoop and got about 5doz large cookes. Also, only had margarine in the house and they still turned out “amazing” as my daughter said. :) Thank you for sharing this recipe…it’s a keeper!

Awesome cookies! Really easy. My daughter pretty much made them by herself.

These cookies were so GOOD!!! I made mine a little smaller and got about 48 cookies out of the recipe. My kids loved them and I took your advice and watched my time, super soft and super good. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe.

I removed my previous review giving this recipe only 3 “mits”, the reason being my opinion of the first batch that i made was based on an un-cooled and slightly under baked version. After they cooled they were amazing. I got SO many complements on them from everyone who tried the cookies. I aready need to bake another batch! Thanks :D

Really simple, delicious peanut butter cookies! I don’t have a mixer, so I did it by hand, and they were surprisingly easy to make. Thanks for sharing; this is now my go-to recipe for peanut butter cookies!
