Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies

Does anyone have a recipe for Peanut Butter Cookies that are moist and chewy? Mine always seem to turn out crunchy and dry.

Hi, I simply use a regular peanut butter cookie recipe, but instead of flattening them with a fork dipped in water, I drop them by teaspoonsful onto baking sheet and bake as normal.

I just used the recipe that was submitted using the cake mix. DELICIOUS !!! No need for twenty min. 8 was just fine in my oven.

The best peanut butter cookie recipe I have used is from a mix. It's the Betty Crocker mix in a packet. It only takes 1 egg. oil and water. I usually make mine with the Hershey's Kiss~but they still always turn out soft and chewy. And they're soooo easy!

Try this one....it is a soft peanut butter cookie, easy and yummy!

1 cup crunchy peanut butter
1/3 cup water
2 eggs
1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
In a large bowl, stir together the peanut butter, water and eggs until smooth and well blended. Stir in the cake mix. Use your hands if necessary to blend thoroughly. Roll into walnut sized balls or drop by spoonfuls 3 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Press each cookie down using a floured fork.
Bake for 8 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown. Remove from baking sheets to cool on wire racks.

To any recipe you can add a bit extra butter or shortening and don't overbake and cookies should be chewy.

The best recipe I have found is on the jar of Peter Pan Peanut butter. This recipe is easy and the cookies taste great!

If you have any left after they are cool (!), put them in a container with a tight lid. Reusing a Christmas tin is ideal. Be sure to put waxed paper or plastic wrap between layers. This should keep them chewy as opposed to crisp. Leaving them where air can get to them will ensure they are crisp. Sometimes, a tight lid will soften hard cookies.

oops, i accidently sent you designer the feedback, so sorry,

SOFT AND CHEWY PEANUT BUTTER, DESIGNERSHEETS HAS IT DOWN PAT, SECRET DONT OVER BAKE, JUST CHECK THEM AND WHEN THEY GET PUFFY LOOKING TAKE THEM OUT IN A COUPLE MINUTES. LET REST ON PAN ABOUT A MINUTE THEN REMOVE AND PUT ON COOLING RACK. (COOLING RACKS ARE A MUST IN BAKING) ! I ALSO USE AIR BAKE PANS TO PREVENT EXCESS BROWNING OR FORGETTING AND BURNING COOKIES TOTALLY.

YOU CAN ADD YOUR FAVORITE INGRED. SUCH AS NUTS, M&M'S, COCONIT, CHOC. , ETC AFTER YOU MIX YOUR COOKBOOK DIRECTIONS.

I ALSO USE BETTY CROCKER COOKBOOK FROM THE 1950'S - OLD RECIPES NEVER DIE. ! MMMMMMMMM GOOD

the trick it to slightly under bake them, no more then 8 - 10 minutes. I use the recipe from the betty crocker cookbook, and i add chocolate and PB chips. yummy. oh and make sure your not using too much flour, they need to be slightly gooey, hard dough make hard cookies. hope this helps
