Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe

The perfect chewy peanut butter cookies with the classic criss-cross on top. A rich, buttery, soft, and chewy texture makes it a favorite at every cookie swap! The best part is that the dough freezes really well, so you can bake off a few cookies at a time and keep the rest in the freezer until you’re ready to use it. Fresh-baked peanut butter cookies on demand! Pressing a criss-cross into each cookie ensures this dough will flatten out and bake evenly. This has been the traditional look of the best peanut butter cookies for more than 80 years. Personally, I don’t think the cookie tastes the same without it! You can even add chocolate chips or peanuts to the top for some extra flavor.
