I should probably start my own Peanut Butter Fan club or at least join an already existing one. Oh yes! I am THAT crazy for this condiment. Every time I see recipes with peanut butter, it goes straight to my recipe diary ( yeah I have printouts, hand written recipes in a bound book! ) which I try out as and when I can – If you happen to have a peanut butter based recipe in your blog, then chances of me having made them is quite high But as they say, simplicity is sometimes the best ever…and this cookie recipe falls under that category.

My neighbors (of my previous house) were an amazing couple who showered lots of love and generosity our way. I still remember her peanut butter cookies which i gobbled like no tomorrow and his rye bread as if my life depended on it! They gave me this book which has this Peanut butter recipe which I love the most. If you think I am drooling too much, then wait till you try them – you would be accused of doing the same. Now to the recipe where I have made teeny weeny changes to the original one.

Cream butter,peanut butter and sugar together until fluffy.

If you are like me, then on the pretext of cleaning the blender, take a lick on this yummy mixture! ( This step is purely optional!)

Beat in maple syrup,egg (or oil) and vanilla. Chop the peanuts coarsely

Toss the flour with soda and peanuts in a separate bowl

Slowly mix the liquid ingredients into the dry

and stir gently.

Drop the mixture on a greased baking sheet by rounded tablespoon. Make sure to leave about 3-4 inches space between then – they enlarge!Believe me!Flatten them lightly with a fork.

Bake until pale golden in 375F oven. See I told you they expand…

It takes approx 7-10minutes.

Remove and cool.

What are you still scrolling down for? Take it and enjoy with milk – Ok Ok let me get back to my cookies so that I can crib to my better half about the “unknown” reason for me piling on the pounds tomorrow! I eat healthy food you know?
