Jimmy Carter’s Grandmother’s Peanut Butter Cookies

How to Make Jimmy Carter’s Grandmother’s Peanut Butter Cookies

These Peanut Butter Cookies, inspired by Jimmy Carter’s grandmother, are soft, chewy, and packed with that classic peanut butter flavor! Perfect for any cookie lover! 🥜🍪✨

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt

    Instructions

    1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
    3. Add Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the baking soda and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the peanut butter mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
    4. Shape Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
    5. Flatten Cookies: Using a fork, gently press down on each cookie to create a crisscross pattern on top.
    6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.
    7. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
    8. Enjoy: Serve and enjoy these delightful Peanut Butter Cookies! 🍽️❤️
