Peanut Butter Cookies

Thank you for Sharing!

We love this one-bowl, no electrics required, recipe for Peanut Butter Cookies!  It makes exceptionally peanut-buttery cookies.  These cookies are chewy on the inside with a slightly crispy exterior!  They maintain their texture and chewiness when frozen which makes them the perfect cookie for an ice cream sandwich!

  • Yield: 36 cookies
  • Category: Desserts and Sweets, Good for crowd, Make ahead, Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 16-oz. jar all-natural peanut butter, smooth (I like Trader Joe's or Adam's)
  • 3/4 c Dark Brown Sugar
  • 3/4 c Granulated Sugar
  • 2 Lg eggs
  • 1 tsp. Pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp. Salt
  • 1/2 c AP Flour
  • 1 tsp. Baking Soda

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together brown sugar, white sugar, eggs, salt and vanilla, until all ingredients are fully incorporated. Using a rubber spatula, mix in the jar of peanut butter - if you don't use the "all-natural" peanut butter, you will likely need a wooden or metal mixing spoon.
  2. Whisk together the flour and baking soda. Stir into the peanut butter mixture. Dough will seem thinner than most cookie doughs at this point. Cover and refrigerate 2-24 hours.
  3. Preheat oven to 350F. (I use 340F in my convection oven.). Line sheet pans with parchment paper or cooking spray.
  4. Roll dough into 1" balls, or use a small scoop. Place on baking sheets and make a cross-hatch with the back of a fork. Dipping the fork in flour prior to the cross-hatch will prevent it from sticking to the cookie. Bake 9-10 minutes until golden around the edges but still soft in the middles. Cool on sheet 5 minutes, then remove to rack to cool completely.
