These were just ok. I was curious about the addition of shortening, and I LOVE a soft peanut butter cookie but the texture on these was a little sandy and the roll in sugar made them over-sweet and mutes the PB flavor. They *look* stellar though, with crinkley tops.

Excellent cookies! We loved the giant size of them! Mine spread perfectly, and I decided to brown the butter to see if it would add a little more pizzaz (not that they need it, but brown butter… mmmm) and they were really delicious!
I love your recipes Sarah, thank you!

Hi
Can this dough be refrigerated overnight? Also, does the cookies rest on the cookie sheet before moving on to the wire rack to cool..

In reply to Cheryl. This recipe comes from Jessie Sheehan's cookbook, Snackable Bakes.

Was not fan… they came out cakey , probably due to the 2 eggs. I always love your recipes otherwise .

Idk what I may have done wrong, but I wasn’t a fan of these. They didn’t really spread very much. I’m thinking maybe trying it again, but not roll them in sugar and see how that goes. They looked more like crinkle cookies than a standard PB cookie. The taste was okay, but just seemed a bit too sweet with the rolling of the sugar

I used paste and they were delicious. I don’t think it matters one way or another.

I made these today. I can’t tell you how skeptical I was. Holy Moly! I don’t really understand the sorcery that made these as good as they are, but they are wonderful! WONDERFUL. I’ve long had a favorite peanut butter cookie but these are truly superior. I miss the cross hatch and may continue to do them just because, but these are absolutely delicious and they have a great texture and flavor. I didn’t expect that with melting the butter, not using a mixer…it broke all of the cookie rules I had in my head. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Sarah – which cookbook are you baking out of? I have different peanut butter cookies in two different books. Granulated sugar and brown sugar do have the same measurement in almost all cookbooks – I have used that measurement in 5 of mine, and most others that I bake out of also use 1 cup = 200 g for both brown and granulated. I’m sorry you hare having trouble with the consistency of the dough – what kind of flour and peanut butter are you using?

I’m using the recipe from your book and my dough is the consistency of sugar and peanut butter. Also, you have printed that 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and 1/2 cup of brown sugar are both 99 grams. Those two items will not have the same volume and weight. What in the world.
