Peanut Butter Sugar Cookies-the best of a sugar cookie and a peanut butter cookie come together in these soft thin cookies.
There’s just something about a sugar cookie. They come in all shapes and sizes. Some are hard, some are soft. Some are chewy. Big and little. I’ve never met a sugar cookie I didn’t fall in love with. You can frost them, you can use them to make a sandwich cookie.
Sugar cookies are just the best basic cookie, if that makes any sense. Everyone loves a sugar cookie. These Peanut Butter Sugar Cookies have to be my favorite.
I love peanut butter to begin with. The peanut butter flavor is subtle. It won’t knock you over like a traditional Peanut Butter cookie does. The first thing your notice when you bite into one of these, is the crisp outer cookie, with the sugar granules tickling your tongue. Then you’ll realize that inside that crisp shell is a chewy middle. And then finally, you’ll realize they are peanut butter.
As you can see, these are a thin cookie. Perfect on their own but just imagine adding chocolate ice cream between two cookies for a fun summer treat. Or a peanut butter buttercream in the center for the ultimate peanut butter sandwich cookie.
These cookies don’t stick around long in my house. It’s just too easy for my kids to grab a stack off the cooling rack and walk off. Occasionally they’ll slow down long enough to grab a glass of milk to go with them.

September 19, 2014 at 6:57 amHey! These sound and look amazing! The recipe reminds me a lot of my chocolate chip recipe which are chewy. Are these cookies chewy or crunchy? Just curious. Gonna try them either way. =)

February 21, 2015 at 11:34 amCan you do these as drop cookies? I HATE rolling out dough.
Joan Hayes says
February 23, 2015 at 8:24 amYou don’t roll these cookies out with a rolling pin. You can just spoon out the dough and roll them in the sugar without making a perfect ball first. You might have some odd shaped cookies but they will still be delicious1
