When it comes to cookies, I like them in the same way in which my youngest
son likes them. To quote him, “I love cookies. I love them so
much.” Clearly he is his mother’s boy! But when it comes to peanut butter cookies,
while I like them, I can’t say that they are among my favorites or that I make
them all that often. They are just so
much trouble when I’m anxious for a cookie fix.
All of that rolling into balls, and then the fork thing, impressing
first in one direction, and then in another to get that signature peanut butter
cookie look. Trouble! If you feel the same, then you will
appreciate this recipe. It goes together
quickly, isn’t cloyingly sweet as some peanut butter cookies are, and contains
the delicious crunch of unsalted peanuts right in the dough (something for
which I am most thankful since Mr. O-P mistakenly bought a big jar of them).
Much like peanuts themselves, these cookies are positively addicting. I had one for breakfast. Don’t judge me.

In the work bowl of your stand mixer (or with a hand mixer) combine
peanut butter, sugars, and butter, beating until smooth and creamy. Add egg, beat until incorporated. Mix in
flour and baking soda just until combined. Stir in peanuts (dough will be
stiff).
Drop dough by rounded tablespoons (I used a medium cookie scoop), onto an ungreased cookie sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake 10 to 14 minutes or until light brown.

Cool 1 to 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack to cool completely.
Makes about 30.
