I typed "peanut butter cookie recipes" into the search bar of my web browser and I got 66,800,000 results! 🥜 THAT is a lot of peanut butter cookie recipes.  I dove right into that peanut butter cookie recipe rabbit trail and I discovered everything from 3 ingredient peanut butter cookies to flourless versions of the sweet treat to cookies stuffed with snickers and pretzels. 😳I've got to say - they ALL sounded pretty amazing.   If you like sugar dusted, crispy peanut butter cookies or buttery soft and chewy peanut butter cookies - you're sure to find one that fits your needs.

Well google, get ready because I'm about to submit Peanut Butter Cookie recipe number 66,800,001.  I figured, why not throw one more buttery, soft, packed with peanut butter cookie recipe in with the rest? 😋This recipe came from Cook's Illustrated so you know it's been tested and perfected.

You probably noticed that my peanut butter cookies don't have the trademark criss cross fork marks on the top.  I have no idea where that tradition started or why in the world people still add a hash tag.  My guess is that it's just for nostalgic purposes but I really don't see any added benefit so I usually don't add it.  What do you think?  Is a peanut butter cookie without the criss cross, still a peanut butter cookie?  

Ciao!

This recipe is similar to the recipe I saw on ATK on PBS in Aug., 2021, with several exceptions: On ATK the flour and sugar measurements were given in weight vs. quantity, ATK called for 1 tsp. of salt (and the cookies were too salty for my taste), and this recipe is FREE.
I did the ATK recipe, and aside from the salt, I would recommend it. Cookies were peanuty, and soft interiors. Next time I'll use this recipe.
