Peanut Butter Cookies I
Peanut Butter Cookies I
Makes a great snack during the day or after a hearty meal. I made these on 23 Dec 2016 and they are delicious! This is a no flour recipe. Photos added from my baking.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups peanut butter, creamy or chunky, (in Thailand use two 340 gram jars)
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 3 eggs, chicken or duck
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180 C, line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, stir peanut butter and sugar together until smooth. Mix in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the baking soda and vanilla.
- Drop by rounded teaspoons on the baking sheet, placing them 2 inches apart. Use a fork and make a crisscross on the top and press down slightly.
- Bake for 10-20 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes as they will be quite mushy at this point.
- Then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Perfect, and delicious, Peanut Butter Cookies.
- Variant used, chocolate chips mixed in.
- Variant used, made Blossoms out of several, perfect touch for those that like chocolate.
Notes
Low cost.
Variants: 1. Mix in chocolate chips. 2. To make peanut blossoms, place a Hershey's kiss on top of each cookie right when they come out of the oven. 3. Make Blossoms using cookies with chocolate chips.

I made these on 23 Dec 2016 and I must say, these are the best Peanut Butter cookies I have ever made, hands down! Extremely easy to mix together the ingredients, then I used a regular tablespoon to scoop up about 1/2 to 3/4 of a spoonful, put that in one palm, roll with the other hand, easy. Make the fork impressions, and the cookies will retain a good shape. Due to ovens being different, I was running at 180 C on the dial for 15-20 minutes per batch. On my go to list.
