It had been a while since I was disappointed by something that I baked. That is until about a week or so ago when I made peanut butter cookies. I used a recipe from an older Betty Crocker cookbook and was very unhappy with the peanut butter flavor in them.
I remember peanut butter cookies from when I was a kid that packed a wallop of peanut butter flavor. Am I just remembering the good old days through the eyes of a child? Is there really a peanut butter cookie recipe out there that is to die for? If so, I would love it if you would share!

Here's my family favorite peanut Butter cookies: http://www.runawayoctober.com/2008/01/peanut-butter-cookies/
The awesome part is that it has three forms of peanuts. :-)

I'm thinking a recipet hat uses an ENTIRE 18 oz jar of peanut butter MUST taste strongly of peanut butter..... and alot of people on allrecipes.com gave it 5 stars!

Penny,
I love this King Arthur recipe

I do think this is one cookie you are better off using shortening than butter, you get that soft texture and the peanut butter taste isn't fighting the butter. I know exactly what you are looking for;)

We really like the recipe from America's Test Kitchen Family Cookbook. It uses crunchy peanut butter as well as dry-roasted peanuts. Yum! (Only thing is, the recipe isn't available free.) Good luck and hope you find something you like!

Hi, Penny! It is my personal belief that the perfect peanut butter cookie must coexist with chocolate. I have a couple of favorites, if you're interested. I promise: you won't eat just six! (I'll wait to hear if you want one of them.)

P.S. HI! HUGS!
