Apparently the peanut butter cookies I made tonight were boring. This according to Daniel. For the record, I thought they were fantastic. Chewy, almost caramel like in the middle with the perfect slight crisp edge. Fairly good peanut butter taste - I guess that could be improved - but all wrapped up with what I thought was a balanced sweetness against the saltiness of the peanut butter.
But then, I do have Daniel "the peanut butter cookie snob" on my hands.
One of the Army Recruiters called me on Friday to ask if I would make him peanut butter cookies. Specifically. I am so afraid I am going to disappoint him, but I am going to have to risk it as they are all made and beautifully nested on a plate now. What I am asking you for is your "not boring" recipe for peanut butter cookies. To save my booty the next time. Just use that "E-mail Us" link on the left side of our page and you could be my hero, baby.....

Hey Andrea! How are you? Just wanted you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
The following is the recipe I use and have never had complaints. This is the recipe my mom gave me, and it's the one she's used since before I was born.
Peanut Butter Cookies
½ cup butter
½ cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
½ tsp vanilla
½ tsp soda
1 cup flour
Mix everything together. Make into little balls and flatten with a sugared fork, making a crisscross in the center of the cookie. Bake at 375°F until done. Enjoy.
I got nothin but I think your peanut butter cookies are the heat! love ya!
i dunno if i have a good recipe for ya! sorry...BUT...i think your cookies sound great!
I have one, they are the best PB cookies I have ever had, I'll give you a call later.
The recipe I follow is take out of package,put on plate recipe. Be careful though opening the package can get a little tricky!
LOL! Matt is a PB cookie snob too. I never can get them just right for him. I stopped trying years ago:)
Just thought I'd take the time to say hello. Found you just moments ago through Blog Catalog.
Peanut butter cookies - alas, I am not a fan of peanut butter; thus, no helpful insight for cookie making. Oatmeal raisin, on the other hand.....LOL.
Have a fantastic day!! :)
LOVE the hand photo! I've never made PB cookies, so no help there, sorry! I made sugar cookies this past weekend, my kids know that homemade cookies around my house are rare, so if they dare call them boring, it will be a long while before they see them again! LOL
I don't have a fantastic peanut butter cookie recipe, but yours look delicious!
Why not dip half in chocolate.....that wouldnt make them boring...although yours look great...good luck gal.
I must make boring peanut butter cookies too then. My recipe, the one I've used for over 30 years, is straight from my Betty Crocker cookbook. There's nothing special about them but no one has ever told me they're boring. LOL They're always a big hit - they're my husband's favorite coffee-dunking cookie!
So, the other day, I decided to make cookies. I haven't made cookies since David left. The kids walked into the kitchen, delighted with this turn of events, and asked, "What kind of cookies?" Puh-lease! As if there were any other cookie besides chocolate chip!
So, no, I do not have a killer peanut butter cookie recipe. They don't exist.
Sorry - I'm more like Jennie. Chocolate chip is what I usually make. But I need to get my sour cream cookie recipe posted, that truly is the best. Our batch of over 60, made Saturday, is already gone!!
I like the idea of 1/2 dipped in chocolate . . .
When I was vegan, I learned to substitute banana for eggs. One large, very mushy banana can replace two eggs. I think it makes a great addition to the cookie. Also, are you using brown sugar? That makes everything better!
