Homemade Peanut Butter Cookies
Hi. It’s Lois, telling you about my all-time favorite Homemade Peanut Butter Cookies because June 12 is National Peanut Butter Cookie Day.
These cookies are not as heavy as the Old Fashioned Peanut Butter Cookies recipe, if you use half white sugar and half brown sugar, these gluten free peanut butter cookies have the texture of Pecan Sandies (you know, store-bought the cookies you loved as a kid). With all brown sugar, they are a little more chewy, but still flaky and amazing.
Recipe Options
I know you’re going to feel sorry for me. I had to make these cookies 5 times (sampling them every time) before I decided on the best version to share with you! I loved all of them and I’m going to give you two options.
Lots of Homemade Peanut Butter Cookie recipes call for rolling them in granulated sugar before flattening them with a fork. It does make a prettier cookie, but I personally do not like my cookies to be super sweet. So if you like them a bit sweeter, roll them in sugar before baking them. I also liked them with slivered almonds on top. My absolute favorite is with the chocolate chips on top because, well, chocolate.
If you like a little “flakier” cookie, use half granulated white sugar and half brown sugar. I like mine a bit flaky and a bit chewy, so I used all brown sugar. Both are super good.
How To Make Them
The recipe is simple, like most cookies. Mix the sugars and egg. Add the flour and other dry ingredients. Thoroughly mix. Shape. Flatten. Bake. Eat. Yum.
What You Need
You will need a mixer, either a stand type or handheld type, along with mixing bowls, measuring cups and spoons, a fork, cooling racks, and a good baking sheet. I prefer the jelly roll type of cookie sheet. Whatever you buy, buy the best you can afford so it lasts a lifetime.
