Yes you can use store-bought peanut butter, but homemade peanut butter makes these classic, cross-hatched peanut butter cookies that much more special.
I don’t think I will ever have a meal and not crave something sweet
Full disclosure, I even have indulged in the occasional piece of cake for breakfast.
It isn’t the healthiest habit, but I always make it a point to have a made-from-scratch dessert at home or, at the very least, a fancy chocolate bar.
That sweet tooth is what motivates me to walk everywhere I can and get to the gym.
This week ambition hit when I was trying to figure out what to bake.
I decided on cookies, but I wanted to make them more special.
I whipped up a batch of homemade peanut butter and used some of it in these classic peanut butter cookies.
They had a nuttier flavor than store-bought peanut butter.
I quite liked their extra crumbly texture, but they were a mess to eat–in the best way possible.
Peanut butter cookies are always a good idea for dessert.

I made these cookies again and as mentioned in my earlier comment, would try a pb&j variation. It turned out great!! I didn’t have quite enough peanut butter this time so filled the remainder of the 2/3 cup with almond butter. I also made the cookies half the size and spaced them closer so that I could fit 25 on the cookie sheet. I made a small indentation in the center before popping them in the over and baked for 14 minutes, turning the pan halfway. After cooling, I filled the centers with jam – really delicious!
I will have to try your pb&j variation. It sounds delicious!!!
I made these peanut butter cookies and they were delicious! I used whole wheat pastry flour and a high-quality store-bought peanut butter (Stonewall Kitchen). This recipe is a keeper. Next time, I will make smaller cookies and fill the center with a dollop of jam/jelly for a pb&j variation.
Love peanut butter cookies so much!!! These look amazing! 😀
