Now, who does not love a good peanut butter cookie??? you should try this ultimate peanut butter cookie!
I grew up with my mother always baking tons of these little jems, and admittingly to today they still remain one of my favourite cookies. 😋
Over the years I changed the original recipe, adding here and there. And the result? A super delicious, or must I say the ultimate peanut butter cookie combined with some delicious chocolate chips…. Mmmm…
Most importantly, have I mentioned that these cookies are also a great hit with the kids. I sometimes think I should bake these cookies in secret. I’m sure I will get more baked cookies out in the end. As soon as they know that I’m making these cookies they are ready to help. And well, helping involves a lot of the dough not making it to the baking sheet. 😂
To me the true secret to the ultimate peanut butter cookie is the quality of the peanut butter that you use. I alway use a crunchy peanut butter. This leaves bits of peanuts in your cookie and of coarse, make sure to use real butter for this one. It makes a big difference in the taste.
And, also remember to cover your chocolate chips in some flour before your mix them into your batter. This is a simple trick that I have learned. It helps your chocolate chips to evenly distributed throughout your batter.
Above all, your family and friends will fall in love with these little cookies and so would you. They ridiculously quick to prepare and to bake. And the recipe can be doubled with no issues. Try this recipe also for a great family treat http://www.livingdelish.com/crackerjack-cookies/
