Peanut Butter cookies that are soft, chewy and slightly crispy on top are the best.  This peanut butter cookie recipe is easy to throw together and produces the perfect cookie.

Peanut Butter cookies that melt in your mouth are the best kind of cookies.  Guess what?  These are melt in your mouth cookies.

Once upon a time, there was craving....a strong one....for peanut butter cookies.....you know what I'm talking about.

Last night, as I was thinking about the salmon dinner I had planned, my mind went to dessert (of course).  PEANUT BUTTER was all I could think about.  I wanted a soft chewy peanut butter cookie and I had to have one tonight.  I also wanted to sprinkle granulated sugar on top of my chewy peanut butter cookie.

I also was looking forward to making the fork prints in the dough before placing in the oven.  Love, love, love everything about making peanut butter cookies. 🙂

I've made peanut butter cookies with chocolate chunks and peanut butter cookies with hershey kisses a million times before as well.  But last night, I wanted peanut butter and peanut butter alone.

The recipe I'm about to share with you produces one of the best peanut buttery doughs I have ever tasted.  Next time, I make this, I will be quadrupling the recipe and freezing the dough, so I can make another batch in a instant.

I know this is a bold statement, but these are quite possibly the best peanut butter cookies I've ever tried.

Tips for soft peanut butter cookies:

  1. I cooked my peanut butter cookies for 10 minutes, and found the cookies to still be very soft, but this is OK. They do settle after cooling for about 15 minutes on a wire rack.

I love soft peanut butter cookies.  If you like more crunch in your cookie, you can always cook them a bit longer, and they'll still be delicious.....of this, I'm certain.
