Peanut Butter Cookies.


I'm addicted to peanut butter. I like it. It tastes good. It's good for me.

I have tons of open pb jars.  The regular Kraft stuff, the natural organic stuff... you name it, I've probably got it.

It makes sense that I like peanut butter cookies as well.

Some Peanut Butter Cookies were plain, 
others had some Cadbury Crunch chocolate bar added. 
Yeah, I can get real fancy like that.



These cookies were soft.


I put the dough in plastic wrap. Made 2 cookie logs.
Now I can have fresh cookies whenever I want.
Just cut and bake.


This recipe makes a ridiculous number if cookies. Perhaps 4 dozen?


Recipe for Peanut Butter Cookies
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup + 1/4 cup crunchy peanut butter (or smooth pb)
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
(2 chopped up Cadbury Crunch chocolate bars)
Cream together butter, peanut butter and sugars. Beat in eggs.
In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir into batter. (Then mix in the chocolate bars if you want).  Put batter in refrigerator for 1 hour.
Roll into 1 inch balls and put on baking sheets. Flatten each ball with a fork, making a criss-cross pattern (or slice from the cookie log).
Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for about 9 minutes or until cookies begin to brown. Do not over-bake.

  1. I could probably eat 4 dozen peanut butter cookies...they are just so very good! There is nothing better than a plate of peanut butter cookies and a tall glass of milk. Thanks for sharing!

  2. These look yummy! Is there a way to make it so that there are chunks of peanut butter in the cookie? Like awesome bits to nibble on as you're munching away... that would be amazing.
