I got the original recipe out of a 1974 Southern Living Cookies Cookbook. I have been making them since then. I do a few things different to make it mine. These cookies are crispy & melt in your mouth. I also never make a single batch. I make at least a double batch every time.They go quick
I use my Kitchen Aid mixer with rotating bowl & turn it on when I first start & keep it running until I finish mixing them. I don’t know if that has anything to do with how good they are or not. I also only use JIF peanut butter. I’ve tried other brands & was not please at all with the taste. The others were edible but who wants just edible?
I use a big spring loaded scoop to scoop the batter with, thus making them big. I make these every year when my hunters come up hunting, so they have something to take to the deer stands with them. They love them & ask for them every time.Sometimes I dust just a hint of sugar on them before baking.
I have to tell a story with this one.
Our neighbor to the north came by one day during hunting season when I made a batch of these & was drinking beer with the other guys. He was feelin’ no pain, to say the least. These cookies are about 6″ in diameter & a man’s shirt pocket is about 4″ across. This man was talking to my husband & looking at him & kept trying to poke one of these cookies in his shirt pocket as he was talking. He never looked down, just kept on talking & trying to poke that cookie in that small pocket. He never missed a lick, but never got the cookie in his pocket.The other guys were dying laughing by now & he had no idea why. Just picture it.

We are so glad to have been able to try these wonderful cookies… delightfully sweet and perfectly peanut buttery they live up to their name. They’re slightly crisp around the edges with a tender center. Once baked, they’re big like a bakery-style cookie. If you love peanut butter cookies, these are a must-make.
