On the 10th Day of Christmas Cookies I’m bringing you something that even Santa can’t deny is just about as classic-cookie as they come. Peanut Butter cookies are such a favorite in our house, for so many reasons.
Of course, we all love the taste. I tend to be more a fan of creamy peanut butter but mixing it up with crunchy from time to time is always a nice surprise. I also substitute coconut oil for the shortening, which also adds a really rich flavor that I love. Peanut Butter cookies are so quick + easy so they’re perfect when you need to whip up something quick.
But most of all I love them because my three little helpers love making them with me. I arm them with a fork of their own and they artfully press the little criss=cross pattern into the top of each cookie. Hope you’ll whip up a batch of your own.
