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. Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies 1 1/2 cups flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 cups brown sugar 1 cup creamy peanut butter 2 eggs 4 Tablespoons butter, melted 2 Tablespoons honey 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/3 cup peanuts, chopped fine
Roll dough into balls and place on on silpat lined baking sheets. Bake 12 minutes at 350. Let cookies cool 6 minutes on baking sheets before moving to a wire rack. 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.
