Ultimate Peanut Butter Cookies

Cookies

I’m very much on a cookie roll! I had a request for peanut butter cookies, which I haven’t made in forever so I decided to go big with these Ultimate Peanut Butter Cookies.

When I began planning this recipe I knew I didn’t just want to make a plain peanut butter cookies. I also knew that I wanted to make a BIG cookie, so my small cookie scoop had to sit this round out. 😉 Naturally where there is peanut butter, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are a no brainer.

Other than the chocolate from the peanut butter cups I used peanut butter chips instead of using chocolate and chopped honey roasted peanuts. I really wanted this to be all about peanuts. 😀 The result was super tasty! My kids were drooling as soon as they came out of the oven and couldn’t wait for me to take pictures.

These Ultimate Peanut Butter Cookies are a soft batch style filled with peanuty goodness. They are also bigger than the usual cookie I make. I used my large scoop… the same one I normally use to scoop batter for my cupcakes. I was definitely going for super sized. 😉

The inspiration for this recipe came from a Dash of Sanity’s Best Ever Soft Peanut Butter Cookie recipe. To make the larger cookies I started off by doubling the recipe. I also added salt because I wanted a little more of that salty/sweet flavor. I didn’t double the vanilla since I was adding mix ins that I knew would add to the flavor and the cookies came out tasty of course.

I hope that you guys enjoy these Ultimate Peanut Butter Cookies! Cake lovers stay tuned… I binge watched some Craftsy videos on Labor Day and I now I have a cake vision that I need to make happen. LOL
