These homemade cookies are soft, chewy and will be gobbled up quickly. With the chunky peanut butter, these cookies are not only soft but have a delicious crunch to them. Chunky peanut butter, especially when it’s used to make these tasty cookies, is the best .

Soft Peanut Butter Cookies

Soft and chewy cookies are a favorite around here. I pretty much always add more flour than a recipe calls for and always add a teaspoon or so of corn syrup. What that does is give the cookies a bit more thickness and helps keep them soft. So my cookie recipes usually will use corn syrup.

Classic Peanut Butter Cookies

There’s just something about the crisscross marks when making classic peanut butter cookies. I mean, I could not even put these in the oven without making the crisscross marks with a fork. The feeling would be “unfinished” to some extent. The crisscross marks are like the finishing touch to these yummy cookies. So, give these chunky peanut butter cookies a try if you love peanut butter cookies.
