I asked Jimmy the other day if he wanted me to bake him anything, he said peanut butter cookies. You make the best peanut butter cookies. I was like that’s a good idea, because they really are the best!!! Plus I get to share the recipe with you!!

When I originally started working on my peanut butter cookie recipe, I knew it needed a lot of peanut butter. So it took a a few tries. I mean if I am making peanut butter cookies, they really need to taste like peanut butter and these cookies definitely taste like peanut butter. They are also so soft and chewy!! They are one of my favorite cookies ever. I mean it is so hard to just eat one!!

Make sure to use a good peanut butter. All natural peanut butters just don’t bake as well and change the texture of the cookies. My favorite peanut butter to bake with is Jif peanut butter. I also use a creamy peanut butter, I personally prefer the creamy. If you want to use a crunchy you will need to cut back on the flour by about 1/4 cup.

I know you will love these cookies as much as our family does!!

That’s the Dish from My Kitchen to your Kitchen ????

Tips & Recommendations

I place the cookies on the tray first, then roll them in sugar, I find it saves some time that way.
Cookie dough can be kept in the refrigerator for 2 days. Baked cookies or unbaked cookies can be kept in the freezer up to 3 months.
