Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe By tasteofhome.com

1. Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe: This soft and chewy low-carb cookie recipe, developed by our Test Kitchen, calls for canola oil instead of butter to reduce the saturated fat. It’s hard to eat just one! Recipe from Taste Of Home.
2. Honey Peanut Butter Cookies: These are honestly the BEST peanut butter cookies that I’ve ever made or tried in my entire life. They’re light and delicate, but they still stay together and are moist and chewy. I opted to use crunchy peanut butter because I love the added texture it brings to a peanut butter cookie, but the recipe did call for honey, which really made these the best. It lends its light, sweet flavor to the salty, crunchy peanut butter and gives the cookies a melt-in-your-mouth quality. If you don’t make these cookies, you’re really going to be missing out! Recipe from Crepes of Wrath.
3. Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich Cookies: Not just for sandwiches, this yummy spread adds richness to our favorite desserts. Recipe found at Delish.
4. Double-Delight Peanut Butter Cookies: It’s a twist on the classic peanut butter cookie! Crunchy outside, creamy inside, with just a hint of cinnamon. A real winner! Recipe from Pillsbury.
5. Peanut Butter Coconut Krispie Cookies: The ingredients looked interesting. Instead of two eggs, the recipe calls for 4 egg whites. It also calls for Rice Krispies, flaked coconut and oatmeal – a combination you don’t see often in peanut butter cookies. Recipe from Cookie Madness.
6. Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chubbies: After the dough came out of the oven, I dipped the underside of a dry measuring cup into some sugar and flattened them slightly. What I was left with were the best darn little peanut butter oatmeal cookies I’ve ever tasted. Holy moly these little chubbies are tasty. Recipe from The Cooking Photographer.
7. Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies with Toffee Peanuts: YES! Delicious! What could be better than peanut butter cookies with chocolate chunks (Ghiradelli) and homemade toffee peanuts in them. Nothing. Recipe from Sugar Plum.
8. Peanut Butter Cookies: I’ve had a few peanut butter cookies in my day, and maybe you have, too, but we should both throw away those other recipes. This is the one. I’m not sure I’ve ever felt so passionately about a cookie—certainly not a peanut butter cookie. But I’m serious about these. Recipe from Pithy and Cleaver.
9. Peanut Butter & Banana Chocolate Chunk Cookies: But wait – these are healthy. No really. They are made with oats, bananas, canola oil and just-peanuts peanut butter – and no sugar – all the sweetness comes from the over-ripe bananas. Recipe from Dinner With Julie.
10. Chewy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies: Recipe found at The Canadian Baker.
11. Yummy Wholewheat Peanut Butter Cookies: The cookies took a few tries to get the mix right especially using whole wheat flour, but the end result is a chewy sweet cookie which is really tasty. They literally take minutes to make and have quickly become my solution to the TV watching munchies! Recipe from The Good Mood Food Blog.
12. Lower-Fat Peanut Butter Banana Cookies: One of the great things about this recipe is that you probably have all the ingredients in your pantry. Use chunky peanut butter if you like pieces of peanut in your cookies. (I do!) Recipe from Fat Free Vegan Kitchen.
13. Bouchon Bakery’s “Nutter Butter” Cookies: Thomas Keller loves to put his own modern spin on old cookie classics, like the Oreo cookie and this one – the Nutter Butter. Recipe from The Italian Dish.
14. Mom-Mom Fritch’s Peanut Butter Cookies: Flourless. Recipe found at Epicurious.
15. Peanut Butter Cookies: The cookies are maple syrup sweetened and come together with just seven ingredients. I cut out the eggs and butter altogether. Bonus points for being able to lick the bowl clean and not worry about raw eggs.
16. Peanut Butter Cookies: Packed with great peanut butter taste, these Betty’s Best peanut butter cookies are sure to please. Recipe from Betty Crocker.
17. Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe with Salted Peanut Caramel: This recipe takes Peanut Butter Cookies to the next level, with a puddle of gooey peanuty caramel filling the cookies. I had some crème fraîche in my fridge, which I used. But for you ’substitutors’ out there, it was a bit too tangy, even for my taste. So I recommend sticking right up close to the ingredients that she calls for, including using regular smooth peanut butter, rather than the natural stuff. Otherwise the batter and the cookies will be dry and crumbly. Which doesn’t bother me in the least, since I can hoard my natural peanut butter for snack-time and not share it with anyone else. Recipe from David Lebovitz.
18. Peanut Butter Brownie Cookies: Recipe from Jif Peanut Butter.
19. Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies: If you love Nutter Butters (and who doesn’t?) and/or Girl Scouts’ Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies (aka Do-Si-Dos), YOU WILL LOVE THESE COOKIES! These cookies are a hybrid of both types of cookies. I’ll warn you up front that these cookies are L E T H A L! I guarantee you that one bite will give you a cookie experience to remember. They will command the attention and affection of all who eat it and in return you will be heaped with praises. Recipe from Savory Sweet Life.
20. Peanut Butter Cookies: These peanut butter cookies come out golden brown with a light crispiness that melts in your mouth. Recipe from Cooking For Engineers.
