Bakery Style Big Peanut Butter Cookies

Bakery Style Big Peanut Butter Cookies.

I love how bakery style cookies are always BIG. Sometimes it’s nice to just eat one big cookie instead of needing 3 or 4 to be satisfied. I used a large cookie scoop to make these cookies which scoops about 2.5 tablespoons of dough. If you don’t have a large cookie scoop you can just roll the dough into 2″ balls.

This is my favorite, favorite, favorite recipe for peanut butter cookies that I have been using for over 20 years. I use it to make so many variations of peanut butter cookies like peanut butter blossoms, etc.

Recipe makes about 14 large cookies.
