What type of Peanut Butter To Use In Peanut Butter Cookies
There is nothing better than peanut butter cookies, whether you make it with smooth or crunchy peanut butter doesn’t matter. They taste delicious made with either type of peanut butter.
The only type of peanut butter that I don’t recommend is the all-natural kind because the peanut butter separates and that won’t work for peanut butter cookies.

My favorite peanut butter cookie recipe to make! My whole family loves them. Perfect amount of softness and a nice crisp edge.We are dairy free, so I switch out the butter with the same amount of Earth Balance. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!
