SOFT AND FUDGY PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

Soft and Fudgy Peanut Butter Cookies image

These cookies weren't supposed to be! A Zaar chef, who shall remain nameless, ;) posted a recipe for a chocolate cookie with pb chips in it. But instead of listing butter as the first ingredient, she accidentally listed peanut butter. After I had mixed everything together, I knew something was wrong because I ended up with a bowl full of crumbs, not dough. To try and salvage the ingredients, I added the milk, left out the pb chips and formed them like traditional pb cookies. Thankfully, the resulting cookies were soft and tasty so I decided to share. :)

Tips:

Use creamy peanut butter. Crunchy peanut butter can make the cookies too dry.
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These peanut butter cookies are a classic for a reason. They are soft, chewy, and packed with peanut butter flavor. They are also relatively easy to make, so they are perfect for beginner bakers. Whether you are looking for a sweet treat to enjoy with a glass of milk or a festive cookie to share at a party, these peanut butter cookies are sure to be a hit.
