Who doesn’t love peanut butter cookies? Unless you’re allergic to nuts, I must believe that these are some of the best treats there are.  They remind me of my Grandma Jackson, who passed away when I was a little girl.  Peanut butter cookies with the fork marks in them are so classic and homemade feeling and I hope that you’ll enjoy them as much as I do.

RECIPE:

• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1 cup butter, room temperature
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 eggs

• 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda

• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Preheat oven to 375° F. Mix butters and sugars together in a Kitchen Aid mixer (or what ever you use) for 5 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla; mix for 2 minutes. Add baking soda, salt and flour until well blended. Scoop balls of dough using a medium stainless steel scoop, then drop each into a bowl of sugar. Spoon sugar over each dough ball, then place onto Silat-lined baking sheet. Press with a fork to create a crisscross pattern on top of each cookie. Bake for about 9 minutes each.  Cool, then remove from cookie sheet.  Makes about 66 soft and chewy cookies.

They will look puffed up then will sink a bit after cooling.

Make someone’s day and treat them to a box of peanut butter cookies!
