Peanut Butter Cookies

I’m not that fussy about peanut butter cookies….my 1 criterion is that they taste like peanut butter and these cookies do. They’re not too sweet, they have a good crunchy texture and they allow the main ingredient to shine.

I don’t usually have crunchy peanut butter on hand so I add a few spoons of roasted chopped peanuts to the dough. Using an ice cream scoop to make the larger size, my yield is 32 cookies (baked in 17 min); yield with a small cookie scoop (~1 tbsp) is 5 dozen, baking time 12 min. They turn out well even without refrigerating the dough first.

Definitely a crowd-pleaser.
