Peanut butter cookies are a classic treat originating from American cuisine, first popularized in the early 20th century. Made with ingredients like peanut butter, sugar, eggs, flour, and often baking soda, these cookies are known for their rich, nutty flavor and soft or crumbly texture. Peanut butter, the star ingredient, provides a source of protein, healthy fats, and essential vitamins such as vitamin E and magnesium. However, these benefits may be offset by the high sugar and calorie content typical of many recipes. For a healthier twist, options like reduced-sugar peanut butter, whole-grain or almond flour, and natural sweeteners can be used. While indulgent and satisfying, portion control is key to enjoying peanut butter cookies as part of a balanced diet.
