There’s nothing quite like a good peanut butter cookie and a glass of milk. A few months ago, I was craving peanut butter cookies and didn’t feel like spending $10 on a box of them from the grocery store. I took a look at some of the recipes available online, and although a lot of them were great starts, I couldn’t find one that was straight forward, easy, and delicious all at the same time. I created these easy peanut butter cookies in just 10 minutes and adjusted the recipe so that you can create them at home, without any baking experience.
This recipe is one I adjusted from several recipes, serving up the perfect crisp, the perfect chewiness, and most importantly, the perfect peanut butter-ness. What will really affect your peanut butter cookies is the TYPE of peanut butter you use for the cookies. I used everyday household peanut butter (Kraft), but you can use any peanut butter you like. It will just affect the type of peanut butter cookies you create. I don’t suggest using crunchy peanut butter because it’ll be harder to combine, but feel free to play around and get creative.
This recipe will be so fast and easy, you’ll be able to do it without looking at the recipe card after a few batches. Whether you’re craving them at home, dropping them off to a loved one, or making a tasty treat for your littles at home, I guarantee they’ll be a new favourite (they are for me for sure)
Tips:
- When in doubt, remember to keep your wet ingredients together and your dry ingredients together, then combine
- You can make your cookies any size you want. This batter is easily mouldable and customizable.
- If you want to make your cookies a bit fancier, use a knife or fork to create the lines on your peanut butter cookies before putting them into the oven. You can also dust a bit of white sugar on them before popping them in for a crystallized effect
- Your cookies will flatten out when they cool. Keep this in mind when you’re deciding how thick you make your cookies
Happy peanut butter cookie baking!
