Jiff Peanut Butter Cookies Recipes

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • - ¾ cup Jif Creamy Peanut Butter
  • - ½ cup shortening or butter unsalted
  • - 1 ¼ cups firmly packed light brown sugar
  • - 3 tablespoons milk
  • - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • - 1 large egg
  • - 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • - 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • - ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Cooking Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Jif Creamy Peanut Butter, shortening or butter, brown sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until well blended and creamy.
  • Add in one large egg to the mixture, and beat just until combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt, then gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients.
  • Mix until just blended to guarantee a soft cookie dough.
  • Drop tablespoonfuls of the dough onto a greased or parchment-lined cookie sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Use the tines of a fork to flatten each dough ball slightly, creating a crisscross pattern on top.
  • Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 7-10 minutes, or until they're set and beginning to brown. Be careful not to overbake; they'll appear soft when you take them out but will firm up as they cool.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Extra Tips:
  • For added flavor and texture, feel free to mix in chocolate chips or chopped peanuts. If you prefer a consistent cookie size, a cookie scoop can help create uniform shapes.
  • Remember to store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them fresh. If you want to elevate your cookies even further, consider icing them with peanut butter icing or drizzling them with melted chocolate for an extra special treat. Enjoy your baking!
