Peanut Butter Cookies

Recently, it was decided to start having pot lucks monthly at work to celebrate people’s birthdays – perfect motivation for me to try more recipes 🙂

I’ve professed my love for peanut butter before, and I wanted something easy to make this weekend – so PB cookies it is!

Of course I found the recipe on Pinterest – where else?

Here’s the link to the original.

It’s so easy-

2 cups peanut butter

2 cups white sugar

2 eggs

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 pinch salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

I used Skippy Natural PB (no stir)

I thought it would be hard to mix the PB and sugar together, but it wasn’t too bad.

Look at all that sugar! Burying a ridiculous amount of pb…

Then beat in the eggs one at a time, stir in the remaining ingredients, & voila – there’s the dough.

Roll the dough into balls and cross-hatch the top with the bottom of a fork.

It made a ton of cookies. As it should considering it started with 2 cups each of PB and sugar.

Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes (mine needed 10).

The original recipe said to move the cookies from the baking pan to a cookie rack after 5 minutes, but I found my cookies were breaking, or at the very least they were super crumbly. So my last few pans (I can’t remember how many pans I baked, I think 5?), I let the cookies sit for 15ish minutes before I moved them and they didn’t break or crumble 🙂
