There aren’t many cookies that are as recognizable as Classic Peanut Butter Cookies. These are made with a whole lot of peanut butter and a whole lot of love. They smell incredible, require no chill time and are so easy to make! These transport well and are a great snack to have on hand for on the go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a super simple cookie recipe in itself, with no need for chilling dough or any special skills or equipment. Beat all the ingredients in stages, roll into balls and place on the baking trays. Leave an inch or two of room between each cookie for spreading. To create the classic peanut butter cookie look, use a fork to press indents in the center of the cookie. Don’t press down so much that they are completely flat, just enough to leave the fork indentation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brown sugar and vanilla are crucial to deep flavors and the gorgeous texture. The recipe is, of course, reliant on peanut butter for the flavor and texture. I highly recommend using creamy peanut butter (smooth) for the best outcome. Also, natural peanut butters tend not to produce the same result as the cheaper, classic peanut butters. Ultimately, it’s up to you as to what sort of peanut butter you use! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
