Joey’s peanut butter cookie recipe is fresh out of the oven, and they taste great! Peanut Butter Cookie recipes are more or less the same in terms of ingredients. It’s the quantity of ingredients that matters when baking, too much sugar can harden a cookie and little peanut butter can make a regular sugar cookie.
Where Did Peanut Butter Cookies Come From?
The Aztecs invented peanut butter. This much is known through history but the invention of the peanut butter cookie is still a question for most.
The first time peanuts in any form were used for cooking was in 1916, when an educator named George Washington Carver published a paper citing the uses of crushed peanuts.
As crushed peanuts were added into recipes, people slowly learned how to make peanut butter and cookies from it. The first-ever peanut butter cookie recipe was published in Mrs. Rorer’s New Cookbook,1902.
