Magnolia Bakery Peanut Butter Cookies
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup peanut butter at room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup peanut butter chips
For sprinkling: 1 tablespoon sugar (I use the coarse sparkling sugar)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine the flour, the baking soda, the baking powder, and the salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and the peanut butter together until fluffy. Add the sugars and beat until smooth. Add the egg and mix well. Add the milk and the vanilla extract. Add the flour mixture and beat thoroughly. Stir in the peanut butter chips. Roll into balls then place on an ungreased cookie sheets (I just line my cookie sheets with parchment), leaving several inches between for expansion. Using a fork, lightly indent with a crisss-cross pattern, but do not overly flatten cookies. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Do not overbake. Cookies may appear to be underdone, but they are not. (I remove them from oven when very slightly browned around edges)
Cool the cookies on the sheets for 1 minute, then remove to a rack to cool completely. (This is when parchment is handy - I just pull the whole piece of parchment, cookies included, onto a wire rack to cool).

yum! These look great! I haven't ever tried this recipe, but have been looking for a new one ~ thanks!
Look so good I would have to make a double batch and ship all my other food for a few days. I secretly love sweets and peanut butter!
Secretia
This is an INCREDIBLE recipe. Oh my goodness. I'm serious. DELICIOUS.
These were amazing! Forgot the sugar on top but the cookies were still awesome! The inside is soft and its the perfect amount of peanut butter. I reccomend using chunky! Thank you soo much!
Made these last night an my co-worker said it was the best peanut butter cookie he'd ever had. Also used Reeses peanut butter chips.
Just made these and we hated them, kids included. Very "artificial" tasting, it was the peanut butter chips in them! Yuck! Not for us. We'll stick with the regular version.
Guuuuurl...
These cookies were great! I substituted self-rising flour for all-purpose and omitted the salt and baking powder. I used crunchy peanut butter, and added M&Ms and reeses cups. So good.
I'd like to make these larger and a bit thicker, so may make ahead and freeze them in large rounds, then bake...
Thanks for the recipe
These are now the most requested treats in my house!!! Absolutely love them! Have diabetic in-laws we care for..... any idea how many carbs are in each? Thanks so much!!
How many cookies does a batch Make? When you sprinkle with sugar regular sugar thanks for your help
So good! Thanks for the recipe. Crispy edges soft inside. Just the way I like them.
These are the ONLY peanut butter cookies I'll ever make. Everyone loves them. I don't change anything to the recipe and I always make a double batch. Make sure to use good quality peanut butter chips!
Can I use chocolate chips instead of peanut butter chips
The best peanut butter cookies, I have ever had, just took some out of oven. Fantastic .
This is truly the best peanut butter cookie I’ve ever made. Thank you!
I can’t find the recipe that my mother used years ago, but this one makes cookies that are even better! I think that
the extra chips may not be necessary, but are a nice addition. Because my fork stuck a little in the dough, I rolled the balls of dough in granulated sugar. I’m very glad that I found this recipe!
I made these peanut butter cookies and they were very good the only thing I didn't add was the chips but my family loved them and will make again.
Oh Joanna these are the best peanut butter cookies ever. Thanks so much for the recipe. My husband has passed by several times for the cookies. Love love your show.
These are great tasting cookies. I am allergic to eggs so substituted 1/2 cup of club soda. I also used in chocolate chips addition to the peanut butter chips.
Wish it included how many cookies it makes.
Just used this recipe … all I can say is awesome!
If you made a batch as described you may be able to answer your own as well as some others here.
These cookies are fabulous! I didn’t have the chips, so I added roasted salted peanuts and chocolate chunks. Oh my. I am going to try making them with almond butter and roasted chopped almonds and coconut. The recipe is the perfect texture. Thanks!
Just made this recipe as directed, no modifications. It turned out perfect. Family loved them. The sugar on top was a nice touch and looked like I got them at a bakery.
Thanks for sharing.. will definitely make again.
This is the only recipe I use for peanut butter cookies. I've never had so many people tell me it's their favorite cookie more than this one. I always make a double batch and I don't change a thing.
Hi. This recipe looks amazing and I’d like to make it. Do you use peanut butter that contains sugar like Jif or the all natural kind with no added sugar? Thanks for your help clarifying.
Hi Alanna! I use the basic jif or Skippy. Sometimes I use crunchy or Sometimes creamy to bake them. I personally eat like natural no sugar or low sugar PB with my English muffins but I use the Skippy or Jif for baking. This is by far my favorite pb cookie recipe . It's different than most. The pb chips make it perfect. The orange bag of pb chips really makes them good ((I think the brand is reeses). I bake these a little longer so they are crunchy. Hard to tell when they done cause they are light brown. Just look closely at edges. Good luck!
I just finished making a batch of these cookies, and they turned out beautifully! I used Smuckers Natural Chunky peanut butter and followed the recipe without any changes. I opted to use a 2 ounce scoop and that yielded 16 large 4-inch cookies. My bake time was 12 minutes. They really look bakery quality and my whole family loves them. I’ll be making these again!
I’d like to know that too, and it doesn’t say how big to make the cookies.
