Cuisine American
Servings 4 dozen cookies

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

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.
