SMS: Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies


I was never a child who liked PB&Js - I'd take stir fried veggies and basmati rice any day. The only way I've ever enjoyed peanut butter is in cookies, and I really love them. The first peanut butter cookies I ever made were from Baked a few weeks ago, and they were unbelievable, so I was excited to see this recipe pop up on the schedule.

These seem to me to be pretty classic peanut butter cookies, and they were very yummy - nice and soft on the inside, chewy, firm around the edges. Delicious. The Baked cookies still rank as my favorite, but these are right up there.

The were easy as could be, though they did take longer to bake than the recipe instructed. It calls for 10 minutes, but even at 12, mine were so soft they fell apart even when cool. They needed more like 14 minutes, and then they were perfect.

Check out Stephanie's blog Ice Cream Before Dinner for the recipe for these yummy cookies.

  7. Love the golden brown color in your cookies. I found my cookies to be a bit pale-looking. Maybe I should try using all brown sugar next time.

  14. Hi Sarah!

    So good to hear from you :) Your cookies look absolutely delish- great job! I just purchased a copy of Baked after eyeing it for the past year, and I can't wait to start baking from it. I'll definitely have to try the PB cookies, if they have your recommendation. Any other recipes that are a must-try?

    Hope to hear from you again soon- this weekend's SMS is Snickerdoodles, so it looks like we'll be filling up the cookie jar twice in a row!

    -Joy
