peanut butter cookies – How to Make Holiday Cookies | Decorated Cookies

Know any good peanut butter cookie recipes?

I’ve googled it and searched a couple websites for a good peanut butter and chocolate chip cookie recipe, but I thought I would take advantage of this wonderful forum to see what all you lovely people had in your books and recipe bins. I used an allrecipes.com recipe last time I made peanut butter cookies and they were good, but they didn’t have the texture that I like.

I like those cookies you buy in the package, break apart and bake and would like to be able to recreate them as best I can homemade. I don’t want them to be crunchy, like the type you would dunk in milk, but I don’t want them too soft either.

If you think you’ve got the recipe for me please share it! The one I choose to make will be awarded with a best answer after I make them Friday night (the 23rd) and conduct a taste test. 🙂 Thanks!

Note: I’ve got two sticks of butter in the bowl softening as we speak and want to the recipe to yield about 4 dozen since I’m going to be sharing them with friends and family.

Killer cookie recipes?

I lost my mom’s cookbook when I moved and can’t find those really awesome cookie recipes like she had. I’m looking for chewy peanut butter cookies, massive chewy chocolate chip cookies, and oatmeal raisin cookies that were buttery, chewy and spread nicely.

I’ve tried recipes from all the standard sites so please don’t just cut and paste something you haven’t tried yourself. I’m really tired of cookies that don’t spread out and get all chewy and golden. If they stay in lumps, my hubby won’t eat them. Hoping someone will share their real favorites and not just cut and paste things they never tried for themselves.

Cookie recipes that do not harden after cooling?

I have been trying to bake cookies for a gift basket for the men at my husband’s work. Every recipe I have tried since so far have hardened after cooling the cookies. Am I doing something wrong or does someone have recipes for Oatmeal Raisin, Chocolate chip, and peanut butter cookies that stay soft after cooling? The men at his work like soft chewy cookies not hard ones.

How long will my holiday cookies last if i make them today?

I don’t have much time to bake when I come home from work and I will be giving out my holiday cookies starting this Thursday.
If I make them this evening, will they be ok for everyone to eat within the next two weeks. I’m baking peanut butter cookies (the ones from the Betty Crocker mix).
