A Peanut Butter Lovers Delight

When I was growing up, just the smell alone of peanut butter cookies baking was delightful.



My mom would make the dense old fashioned peanut butter cookies with the criss-cross marks in the top.

Mom's Recipe

I turned those cookies into Reindeer's for Christmas you find her recipe here.


I still make those in her memory from time to time with those criss-cross marks.



These are quite different, more like a real buttery outside, crunch with delicious soft chocolate inside.



These peanut butter chocolate chips are so addicting.

Cookie Addicts

Our family just loves all kinds of cookies.



I usually make around 24 different kinds of cookies around the Christmas Holiday.

Maybe you remember my One Stop Cookie Shop Post?



That post has all 24 cookies we love Holiday season time!

Some Tips

Since I mail out a lot of cookies at Christmas time to Upstate New York where the family still lives you have to pack them good.



I usually save any shoe boxes during the year, they are perfect.



All of these cookies I bake travel well boxed up, and stay fresh.

Separate them in Baggies

If I am baking all kinds of cookies, I always separated them in individual freezer bags to keep the flavors from rubbing off into other cookies.



I hate when all cookies taste alike!

Tips

I use an ice cream scoop to make them all the same size.



Make sure the oven is preheated to 375 degrees or they won't cook evenly.

The Batter

Whip the sugars together with the butter until light and fluffy before adding the egg and other ingredients.



The batter is thick but a little sticky.



The cookies will puff up nicely, if you want flatter cookies then pat them down with a flour flat bottom glass.

My Kids Favorite and Now My Grandkids

This was the only blog post my kids didn't want me to share with my readers.



They actually love these so much they wanted to keep it exclusive, but I love sharing!

Kids and Learning to Cook

I decided that I have always shared my recipes no matter what they are and with the world of web recipes, it's probably already out there somewhere!



Antonio loves to help me bake, but he adds colored sprinkles to these cookies, that's the only way he likes them.



Antonio is four years old and a great helper and loves these cookies like his dad did when he was his age.

Fun with Sprinkles for sure!

Of course, it's an added sugar, so we just make one pan of cookies.



Antonio devoured them and hardly could wait for them to cool off.

One More Tip

Pour your sprinkles in a bowl first, Antonio dumped the whole container all over the Silpat mat.



I didn't care we made some fantastic memories together and he felt so bad!



He didn't want me to take any more photos of the epic fail!



What a good boy he is and this was so much fun to make with him.

Baking Tip

When baking these cookies, I always use parchment paper or bake on a Silpat mat.



It makes it much easier to remove them.



Be sure to let them cool at least 5 to 8 minutes before removing from your cookie sheet.

The Longer You Bake Them

We have all kinds of preferences on how cookies should be.



I have my oldest son that will eat them overcooked.



My younger son loves them crisp but not overcooked and my husband loves them undercooked.



You should experiment with a few before making a whole cookie sheet and see how you like the results for your family taste.

Chocolate Chips and More

I have added chopped peanuts to these with chocolate chips.



There are so many additions that go great with peanut butter, however, I always go back to the same method here.



Some love shredded coconut and macadamia nuts.



Other love the additions of caramel and peanut chocolate coated bars.

Experiment

I have experimented with candy bars and they are way too sweet for me, you can change these up however you like.



I really don't mind the without chocolate in them either, the cookie plain is marvelous too!
