Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe

This peanut butter cookies recipe is reminiscent of the classic old-fashioned peanut butter cookies mom used to make. In order to get the right texture when you make these peanut butter cookies, you need to chill the dough a good three hours. Also, check the cookies carefully while baking to make sure they aren't too brown. That will make these peanut butter cookies crispy, rather than chewy.

Prep Time: 3 hours, 15 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup firmly-packed light brown sugar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1-1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt

Preparation:

  1. With an electric mixer, cream peanut butter, butter and sugars together until fluffy.

  2. Beat in eggs, one at a time.

  3. Sift together remaining ingredients. Add to peanut butter mixture.

  4. Refrigerate 3 hours.

  5. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease two cookie sheets.

  6. Roll peanut butter cookie dough into 1 inch balls. Flatten with a fork, making a criss-cross pattern in the dough. Bake 12-15 minutes until cookies are just starting to brown.
