Peanut Butter Cookies
Peanut Butter Cookies use a blend of butter, peanut butter, sugars, eggs, and leavening agents to form a dough that chills before baking. The result is a cookie that balances a rich peanut flavor with a soft yet slightly chewy texture. Baking at a moderate temperature produces golden edges while keeping the center tender, making them ideal for snacking or dessert.
