Seems easy enough, but, how do I get the shapes like the ones in the picture? When Mom makes peanut butter cookies, they have deeper cracks, and all over (like it might with a simple fork press). Also it’s interesting how these are smoothe inside and outside the shapes. Any info on how to make them look like those on the left in the picture would be nice.

I have been looking for a peanut butter cookie recipe that was simple and delicious. It has been a long search and it is now over! As soon as I saw how simple it was I couldn''t wait to make them. They have enough Peanut Butter in them to make you come back for more. I have found that a sugared fork makes the cookies a little sweeter than a floured fork. No matter what this recipe is the best peanut butter cookie i have found.

My only complaint about these is that they need more peanutbutter flavor, but that is a personal thing. Definitely watch the cooking time, as ten minutes delivers a nice, chewey cookie. I also used sugar in place of the flour on the fork. My husband took two dozen with him on the road, and asked me to make more. Thank you for a wonderful and easy recipe!
