These Peanut Butter Cookies are super soft and chewy with just the right amount of peanut butter flavor.

It is impossible to eat only one.

If you are a lover of peanut butter like myself, you will surely love these cookies.

They are all made from scratch and are so easy to make.

All you need are a few items that you can find in your pantry.

You are going to love these cookies…they are so irresistible and addictive.

When I was younger, I used to just grab a spoon and a jar of creamy Peanut Butter and I was good for the rest of the day.

I would feel like all my troubles were gone and I was floating on cloud nine.

I just cant help myself, I love Peanut Butter.

But now, I can’t enjoy Peanut Butter like that anymore…. not after having two children.

I have to watch what I eat and when I eat it.

I think that’s most mothers problem.

Yep, the world is unfair…lol. But, such is life.

So now and again, I will treat myself to some of these Cookies and throw in some for my children too.

Hey, you have to have some excuse to bake them…lol.

Besides baking Peanut Butter Cookies, I love a good ole PB&J sandwich.

No it’s not for kids alone.

Adults love it too.

Those nights when you don’t want to go to bed hungry or just feel for a snack.

Also, how about adding some peanut butter to some oatmeal porridge.

Oh so creamy.

Anyways, let us talk about how to make these Peanut Butter Cookies, that I can’t get enough of.

How to make Peanut Butter Cookies

To make things easier for you, whisk all the dry ingredients together.

Trust me, it’s way better that way when you the wet ingredients is been added.

Plus, the dry ingredients are combine evenly.

Cream the butter with both sugars (the brown and granulated).

I love the scent of butter and sugar creaming.

Come on, I know it’s not just me alone.

Add the egg and some vanilla extract and you are half way there.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and then the only thing left to do is to form your cookies.

Place them on a baking pan, lined with parchment paper and then put them in the oven to bake.

Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup of creamy peanut butter or the crunchy peanut butter
• 1 large egg
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 and 1/2 cup all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup (1 Stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

1. Cream together the butter, brown sugar and the granulated sugar, until it is smooth with an electric mixer.
2. Add the egg and mix well. Then the peanut butter and vanilla extract. Mix well, until it is smooth.
3. In a medium bowl, add the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon, and whisk together.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to mix the dough together and then use the electric mixer to mix, until there are no dry spots. Plus, using a spatula to mix first, will prevent you from cleaning up a lot of flour afterwards. Scrape the sides to form one big dough.
5. Use a tablespoon to make a ball for each cookie. Place them on a lined baking sheet.
6. Use a fork and press down on the top of each cookie to create a criss-cross design.
7. Bake at 350 degrees for about 8 to 9 minutes. They bake so fast, so don’t go over 9 minutes.
8. Once they are baked, take them out of the oven and place the baking sheet on a cooling rack for about 15 minutes to cool. Enjoy.
