Magic Peanut Butter Cookies from 1984

I added chocolate chips and butterscotch chips. YUMMY!!!!

I am still not sure what I temp I was supposed to bake them at, not American, and it doesn’t say if it was F or C!

These were made even better when after they completely cooled. I dipped the entire cookie in melted chocolate and cooled them twice. Tasted like a homemade Reese’s cup

Took a few mins extra in the oven. Dough was a bit oily at first. Added chocolate chips. Froze half the dough to bake at a later time, and that batch was even better than the fresh batch.

I've had to bake them up to 15 minutes. They're my go-to sweet peanut butter treat!

Used all natural peanut butter chilled in the fridge and artificial sweetener.

Amazing

Very simple recipe with very few ingredients. These would be really good to try making with your kids as an introduction to baking with an oven too. Three ingredients, simple prep, short bake and cooling time, you legit can't go wrong unless you do not like peanut butter or have a tree nut allergy. I'd probably also recommend a commercial, shelf-stable peanut butter. No natural varieties that require stirring. Though I'm sure some variant of the recipe (albeit more complex than this one) could be figured out with a natural peanut butter with experimentation.

Add monk fruit instead of sugar for low carb cookies they are great
