SOFT AND CHEWY PEANUT BUTTER
COOKIES
 
2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/4 c. brown sugar, firmly packed
1 1/4 c. white sugar
1 c. butter, softened
3 lg. eggs
1 c. creamy peanut butter
2 tsp. vanilla

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine flour, soda and salt. Mix well and set aside. In large bowl, blend sugars using an electric mixer. Add butter to form a grainy paste. Add eggs, peanut butter and vanilla. Beat at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add flour mixture and mix at low speed until just mixed.

Drop by rounded tablespoons onto an ungreased cookie sheet. With a wet fork (be sure to dip fork in water after each cookie as dough is sticky), gently press a criss-cross pattern on top of cookie. Bake 9 to 12 minutes. Transfer immediately to a cool surface.

10:30 p.m. and my husband wants cookies. Go figure. These were the best Pnut butter cookies ever. I made them extra big and they were soft and chewy. One word DELICIOUS! Now maybe my husband will go to sleep. Thanks cooks.com.

This recipe is very nice. Slightly overcooking leads to crunchy cookies...so undertime a little as they'll bake more out of the oven for soft cookies.

Mine came out super flat and doughy. I cooked it for 12 minutes and measured everything right. What did I do wrong??

Wow!! These really are the chewiest peanut butter cookies i've ever tasted. Baking at 300°F for 12 min wasn't long enough for me, they were almost like dough in the middle, but perfect on the edges. I increased temp to 325°F and baked for 14 min. They were perfect- for me. If you want a truely chewy cookie this is it!! I still gave it a 5 because after they completely cooled even the first bach was amazing & not too doughy and my husband argued they were perfect.. Enjoy

I thought these cookies were not very good. They were like dough balls, even though they were baked carefully using the recipe and directions. If this is the best you can do, perhaps you should give up baking.

Best I've found so far on the net. I tried a few others but turned out the same and not chewy. I did have to add more flour to the mix and turn oven up to 325°F for 12 minutes. But they did turn out good after that, chewy and great peanut butter taste.

These cookies are very good! The peanut butter flavor is light and the cookie softness is perfect. Don't press the cookies too much or they will be very thin and flat.
