Better Than Your Moms Peanut Butter Cookies! Yep, I said it!
During the holidays I like food that keeps me warm and I love to relive my childhood. During my younger years, my mom would make me the most amazing peanut butter cookies and if she didn’t have the time, she always picked up a couple from Subway (a great close 2nd).
Now I’ve made plenty of peanut butter cookies in my adult years, but I have never come across a recipe that takes me back to my childhood as much as these. I love them so much in fact, they are a staple around the holidays. No other peanut butter cookie compares to this one. Part of me is afraid to hype it up too much, but doggit it really is that good.
The only adjustment I made from the recipe in the link was leaving the dough in the refrigerator for 24 hours instead of 1 hour. I’m not sure if it makes much of a difference, but it was pretty good. I saved the leftover dough in the fridge for a few days and cooked the remainder, but the cookie wasn’t as good. Thus, I advise if you make these wonderful cookies, make them all in one batch or at least don’t leave them in the refrigerator for 5 days like I did. Follow the recipe exactly and you should have a delightful batch of cookies.

- Roll dough into 1 inch balls and put on baking sheets. Flatten each ball with a fork, making a crisscross pattern.
