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.

Wow! After searching for years, this is it! My husband is huge fan of PB cookies and this is the perfect one. The dough was a bit wetter and softer than I expected, but they came out perfect. Thanks!
