37-Minute Peanut Butter Cookies

I’m a peanut butter cookie purist. No vanilla. No caramel. No crunchy peanuts. And also, no eggs or butter, which, I guess, makes me more of a peanut butter non-conformist than a purist.

People tend to trip over adjectives and misplaced metaphors when describing peanut butter cookies. For me, they are simply a kind of G-rated peanut butter shortbread – delicious, tasty, and simple to make. Nothing more and nothing less.

Store leftovers (if there are any) in a tin with a lid. They will become crispier after a night on the shelf.

Difficulty: Simple
Yield: about 12 cookies
