This Soft & Crunchy Peanut Butter Cookies recipe makes decadent cookies that every peanut butter lover will enjoy. A soft and chewy cookie with a roasted peanut crunch!

Chewy Crunchy Peanut Butter Cookies are the best!

I must admit ~ I’m a peanut butter lover. I used to eat it by the spoonful out of the jar! That’s why these cookies are at the top of my list of favourite cookies.

I found the cutest Juniper Spreader Knife on Amazon. It’s perfect for getting down to that last bit of peanut butter in the jar, and it’s FOOD-SAFE & ECO-FRIENDLY!

One bite of these cookies will take you back to your childhood when Mom served up a plate of Peanut Butter Cookies with an ice-cold glass of milk for an after-school snack.

I’ve tested different recipes for peanut butter cookies over the years, and I found using crunchy peanut butter makes the cookies a little too crunchy. So I tried the combination of creamy peanut butter and chopped unsalted roasted peanuts. The result? A soft and chewy cookie with a little bit of crunch that is full of Peanut Butter Flavour!
