Blue Ribbon Peanut Butter Cookies image

I used this recipe when I won a Blue Ribbon at the South Plains Fair in Lubbock, Texas in 1981. It came from a cookbook my mother received as a Wedding gift in 1952. I don't know the name of the Cookbook and the only copy of the recipe I have is hand written by my mother which is priceless to me. A batch of these cookies was the only thing my father in-law wanted from me for his birthday, Father's day and Christmas. I hope you enjoy them. The real trick to them is not to over cook them (it will make them to crunchy) or under cook them ( it will make them to soft), you want a balance between the two.

I'm going to try making these cookies with different types of chocolate chips. I think they would be really good with dark chocolate or mint chocolate chips.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover peanut butter. I always have a jar of peanut butter in my pantry, so I can make these cookies anytime.

I had some trouble getting the cookies to spread out. I think I might have needed to chill the dough for longer.

These cookies were a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of peanut butter, but these cookies were still really good. The chocolate chips helped to balance out the peanut butter flavor.
