Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality peanut butter. Avoid using natural peanut butter, as it may be too oily and not spreadable enough.
  • If you don't have raisins on hand, you can substitute other dried fruits, such as cranberries, cherries, or apricots.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this will make the cookies tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
  • If the dough is too sticky to handle, you can chill it for 30 minutes before shaping the cookies.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set, as they will continue to firm up as they cool.

Conclusion:

These peanut butter raisin bran cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or dessert. They're perfect for packing in lunches or sharing with friends and family. With their combination of peanut butter, raisins, and bran, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
