Peanut Butter Brownies

Do you love peanut butter? These brownies are for you.

They are sure to be a hit with all your peanut butter loving family and friends too.

These easy Peanut Butter Brownies are a favorite from the classic and my first cookbook, The Fannie Farmer Cookbook: Anniversary , the one my Mom turned me on to and the one I received when I was first married so many years ago.

Peanut butter cookies have long been one of my favorite homemade cookies. I remember them being one of the best things about school lunch so many years ago as well.

These easy brownies are a great alternative to traditional peanut butter cookies when the time you have to spend in the kitchen is at a premium, since they are baked in a pan in one single batch.

When using peanut butter for baking, for best results it's best to use one of the commercial peanut butters; not 'natural' peanut butter. The taste and texture of your peanut butter cookies, brownies, and cakes will be better.

Testimonials

"I have been researching and trying a number of recipes to make a healthy cookie similar to one that our Gym coffee shop sells for $3.50! This particular recipe was adapted so instead of bars I made thick round cookies and cooked them just underdone so they were soft and chewy. They were a hit with all the girls. Thanks for the great recipe."

Thanks,
