These peanut butter cookies are just like the ones my grandma used to make! Except these days I used white rice flour to make them gluten free. 🙂 They still taste the same!
I must apologize to those of you who can’t have peanut butter – because these Peanut Butter Cookies are amazing!
They also happen to be the ONLY cookies I can make.
Yup.
I can cook delicious meals and bake nummy desserts like cheesecake and apple crisp. But I cannot for the life of me make cookies.
Except theses Peanut Butter Cookies just like my grandma used to make. It’s her recipe actually. So dear sweet angel Grandma, thank you!
And thank you to my kitchen helpers – if it weren’t for them I wouldn’t bake at all!

Are you good at making cookies? Do you have a trademark cookie? How about other foods – are you a good cook?

My husband loves peanut butter cookies and my step-daughters love making them! I love that you have this recipe from your grandma. I don’t know if my mom has any recipes passed down, I’ll have to ask her!
My go to cookie recipe is Oatmeal raisin, they always turn out really good and I can’t stop eating them when I do make them!
Definitely ask! My mom gave me several recipes that she hand wrote for me when I moved out and got married. I love them!
I love that these are your grandma’s recipe. Handed down recipes are the best one’s! Can’t wait to try them!
Handed down recipes are fabulous! Hope you enjoy them!
These look amazing. It has been AGES since I’ve made PB cookies. I’ll have to give this a shot!
Just try not to eat the whole batch! đŸ˜‰
Grandmothers are such special people in our lives! I have many recipes that are my grandmother’s as well! I seldom make peanut butter cookies, although I made lots of other types of cookies, but these look so good Shannon! Have a lovely week! Angie xo
Thank you Angie!
I love a good peanut butter cookie! My grandma shared her recipes with me too. She passed away in 2012 and I kept all of her handwritten recipe cards in a scrapbook. I’ve made a few and posted one recently on my blog.
That’s so wonderful, Stacie. I’ll have to come check our your recipe.
Whoa. I love peanut butter cookies. Come over and make them for me.
Lol. đŸ™‚
I love peanut butter cookies! I especially love that this recipe was your Grandma’s…family recipes are the best!
They are! I love my mom’s apple crisp recipe too.
Yum! I love peanut butter cookies. Especially simple, unfussy ones because the peanut butter flavour shines through.
I absolutely love this peanut butter cookie recipe. Thank you. Nancy LeMasters
