Woman in Real Life

One day recently my son woke up and said, "I want to make peanut butter cookies." Okay by me! Who am I to turn down baked goods, especially cookies? (Peanut butter cookies with chocolate chips are my favourite kind of cookie! Or oatmeal raisin. Who am I kidding - most cookies are delicious.) 

Do you ever make the super easy peanut butter cookie recipe on the side of the Kraft peanut butter jar? These cookies are true to the "super easy" description, so they are great as a beginner cookie for kids to bake. Plus, these peanut butter cookies are really fast to make and take very few ingredients, so they are handy to whip up if you end up hosting a last-minute playdate, or even a hungry adult visitor.



My son started making the Kraft peanut butter chocolate chip cookies recipe a couple of years ago, at the age of eight. I had to help him with the measurements at the beginning, but now he is comfortable making the whole recipe himself. And he does a better job than me!


You can make the Kraft peanut butter cookie recipe without chocolate chips, but we usually add them for an extra sweet and delicious treat.


These easy Kraft peanut butter cookies are quite remarkable considering they are flour-free and only require three simple main ingredients. I still ponder how they actually work out. But work out they do. They are delicious. My boy proudly brought the peanut butter cookies to my parents' house, where granny and grampy enjoyed them and even shared them with a visiting friend.

With all thanks to Kraft for the recipe, you can obviously use any kind of peanut butter you want. And natural peanut butter without salt or sugar works just fine.
