Easy Peanut Butter Cookies

Easy and yummy. I don't use chopped peanuts or vanilla. Great every time!

My mother's peanut butter cookies are the ones that I measure all other PB cookies against. Hers are still the greatest, but these were not bad. They were easy and quick to make and use ingredients you would already have on hand. No peanuts this time, but I will try it again very soon. The peanut butter does shine through.... pretty yummy.

just made this recipe last night and it came out great the only thing i forgot to put in the vanilla but it still tasted great in fact going to make them this weekend

I made this recipe with a little help: my son rolling the cookie dough into balls and my grandson making the criss-crosses. I omitted the peanuts and used the variation of 1/2 white sugar and 1/2 brown sugar. I also added the pinch of salt and sprinkled a little white sugar on the tops before baking. They turned out splendidly! They were a huge hit with everyone and just way too easy to make. We will certainly make these cookies over and over again!

love how easy it was to make and taste good

This is my favorite recipe. My daughter gave it to me 2 years ago, using chocolate chips instead of peanuts. I use pecans instead of the chips and cookies. Have tried several variations tho and love them all. This is a GLUTEN FREE RECIPE so they are my LEGAL treats.

I went with other reviews and added half white sugar and half brown sugar and they turned out great! For those who said the dough was sticky, I had no problem and the greasy part... well its PEANUT BUTTER cookies. On half of the mix I added chocolate chips and could not decide which I liked better, plain or the chocolate chips ones. One thing in my experience is going with a real pure vanilla makes a big difference. I would never go with imitation vanilla. Anyways, i love these cookies and still eating them now! Thanks for the recipe.

I was craving cookies at 10pm and this seemed like the easiest option. I was leery from a few bad reviews, but I am happy to say the dough was fine (texture of playdough) and the cookies taste good. I omitted the peanuts because I didn't have any, but I think they would be a great addition. I omitted the vanilla extract because I didn't want them quite as sweet. I would actually add a pinch of salt next time. I used a (plastic) potato masher to flatten them out and it worked really great - didn't stick at all. These are sweet and yummy.

Very easy to make and delicious. I replaced the egg with egg replacer and made them vegan style. I didn't have any of the issues I read in other reviews. I love not having the flour in the way of my peanut butter flavor. Great recipe! It's a keeper!

I've used this recipe years ago as the PB Blossom cookie. It's the familiar cookie, shaped into small balls, baked like that, and then immediately press the Hershey's Kiss into the center. You can't overbake them if you're pressing the kiss into it. PB lover's delight.
