Description

These beloved peanut butter cookies offer the perfect balance of creamy richness and subtle sweetness. Made with just a few pantry staples, they boast a distinctive crisscross pattern that makes them instantly recognizable and irresistible. The dough comes together quickly, resulting in cookies that are crisp around the edges but delightfully soft and chewy in the middle. Ideal for after-school snacks, cookie exchanges, or simply satisfying a sweet tooth, these cookies pair beautifully with a cold glass of milk. Their robust peanut flavor stands out without being overwhelming, making them a timeless favorite for families and friends alike.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
  2. Lightly grease a large baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the peanut butter, softened butter or margarine, and sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Beat in the egg until fully incorporated.
  5. Stir in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt (if using) until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the crushed Rice Chex cereal until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball with your hands.
  8. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Dip a fork in granulated sugar and press down on each cookie to create a crisscross pattern, flattening them slightly.
  10. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the bottoms are lightly golden brown.
  11. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute to set.
  12. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
