The best Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe

Looking for an easy Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe? My recipe for the best peanut butter cookies ever is going to be the only recipe for soft peanut butter cookies you ever need.

I have always loved cookies. Any kind of cookies. It is kind of a weakness. One of my favorite kinds of cookies to make are peanut butter cookies. My peanut butter cookie recipe is so good, the cookies fly off the plate. I normally make a double to a triple batch of these peanut butter cookies because everyone loves them so much.

Soft Peanut Butter Cookies

When I make cookies, I prefer to have soft cookies. While hard cookies have their place, I just love soft ones. These soft peanut butter cookies are just perfection in cookie form.

Do I use crunchy peanut butter or smooth peanut butter for peanut butter cookies

In my easy peanut butter cookies recipe, I use smooth peanut butter. It is a personal choice. If you like the crunch of the peanuts in your peanut butter cookie, then you can certainly use crunchy peanut butter.

The Best Peanut butter cookies

Makes 30 cookies

Ingredients for the Best Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe

• 1/2 pound of butter
• 1 cup of smooth peanut butter. You can use chunky peanut butter if you prefer. We prefer the smooth in our cookies.
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 cups flour
• sugar for sprinkling

How to Make Peanut Butter cookies:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease your cookie sheets, or line them with foil or parchment paper.
Cream together the butter and peanut butter
Then beat in the 2 sugars. Add in one egg at a time and vanilla until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and baking soda. Add it to the butter mixture about a third at a time. Mix together until completely combined.
Drop the cookie mixture by the spoonful onto a cookie sheet. I like to use a cookie scoop when making cookies. It keeps all of the cookies the same size so they cook properly.
Take a fork and make a cross-hatch pattern across the top.
Then sprinkle a little sugar on the top of each cookie.
Bake cookies for about 7-8 minutes or until they are firm.
