Peanut butter cookies are one of the simplest cookies out there, which is why you should be making them as often as possible. You don’t need anything but peanut butter, butter and the contents of your baking cupboard. This scratch recipe is the most classic version of this most classic cookie. It’s nutty, it’s chewy and it’s got that signature crosshatch pattern on top that can only be the work of a fork. Not only are they fantastic on their own with a glass of milk (chocolate, if you’re smart), but they are incredible versatile. You could dip them in chocolate, add crushed peanuts for a crunch or grab two cookies and make a sandwich (with chocolate ice cream inside, if you’re smart). In fact, we have dozens of
peanut butter cookie twists to try. If you really need a shortcut, you know our
cookie mix is always available and always delicious.
