The Last Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe You'll Ever Try

Recipe #103085 | 25 min | 10 min prep | add private note

These are the most amazing cookies. They are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and freeze so well. You can't even tell they were frozen! The best part - they are drop cookies, no shaping necessary. If you love nuts, use crunchy peanut butter and add the nuts, if not, use creamy PB and 2 cups of peanut butter chips. Cook time is for one batch. Dough keeps well in fridge so you can bake a batch every day and have fresh cookies!

80 -100 cookies (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Cream peanut butter and margarine, add sugars and mix well.
  2. 2
    Add eggs and mix until creamy.
  3. 3
    Add remaining ingredients.
  4. 4
    Chill for one hour-I usually skip this step and chill between batches.
  5. 5
    Drop by teaspoonful onto cookie sheets- do not flatten.
  6. 6
    Bake at 325°F for 15 minutes.
  7. 7
    Cool on cookie sheets for about 5 minutes then transfer onto newspaper- the newspaper soaks up extra grease so the cookies don't become crumbly, little trick I learned from my MIL- this is also optional.
  8. 8
    Edited to add - Immediately after the cookies are completely cooled I always transfer them to an airtight container. Several posters have mentioned the cookies get hard if you leave them out. I have never had that problem - these cookies have always stayed soft and moist if they are stored in an airtight container.

Best ever! I love the crispy outside and chewy inside. I baked and then froze for a party and they were perfect!

    These are bakery good!!! I didn't have peanut butter chips, and really didn't want to go to the store so I used chocolate chips. I cut the recipe in half because I didn't have enough of everything on hand to keep the full recipe. These are fantastic!! I can't wait to try them with PB chips!! Thanks for sharing www.colieskitchen.com

    Wow - the name of this recipe says it all and I'll have to agree 100%! These are melt in your mouth delicious. I make cookies for a local food pantry twice a month. This recipe is great for that because it makes a lot of cookies (enough to take to the food pantry and enough for my family to snack on). I'm not even a big PB cookie lover, but these are to die for! Thanks for the newspaper tip as well...worked perfectly! I followed the recipe exactly except I only baked the cookies for 12-13 minutes. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe! Kristen

    Fabulous is what my DH and DD said about these. I made 2/3 batch and still had a huge amount of cookies. It took 15 minutes of baking in my oven. Great recipe.
