These cookies are easy and simply delicious, but for an even easier version try 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies, or shake it up a bit with Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies.
We Love These Cookies!
These best peanut butter cookies are a well-loved classic. They are easy to make and are every peanut butter lover’s dream. (Although close runner-ups are the Peanut Butter Cup Cookie and the Peanut Butter Kiss Cookie). Why we love them:
Easy. Just a handful of ingredients are needed to make these cookies. Delicious. They are tasty fresh and warm from the oven, but tasty the next day dipped in milk. Go ahead and double the recipe. These are great after-school snacks, a quick treat for guests, or late-night goodies. A must! They also just happen to be my hubby’s favorite cookie.
There are many variations and additions to the classic cookie, but no matter how you “spread it”, the peanut butter flavor is scrumptious!
