I have really great memories of eating lunch at my Great-Grandma Elsa’s house and with no-fail, she would always have Peanut Butter Cookies in her freezer for us! I found her recipe and made them for my Christmas Cookie Boxes this year! Her recipe calls for oil, which made her cookies very thin and crisp! They were always delicious, but I wanted to try them with butter, and see if they would turn out chewy, and they did not disappoint! So this is my take of her recipe, you can make them with oil or butter depending on your preference! 🙂 I hope you enjoy these Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies as much as I do!
Ingredients you need:
Vanilla!
How to make Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies
- Whip the butter (or oil if you want more crispy cookies) eggs, sugar, brown sugar, and peanut butter, and vanilla in a bowl.
2. Add the flour, salt and baking soda and mix well!!
3. Scoop cookies onto a baking sheet, and press down with a fork so it makes a criss-cross pattern. I use my tablespoon cookie scoop, and I swear by this utensil! It literally saves me so much time and I will never go back to using a spoon!
4. Bake at 375 for about 8 minutes.
