About Peanut butter cookies

Peanut butter cookies are a popular treat originating in the United States, where peanut butter first gained widespread use in baking during the early 20th century. These cookies are typically made with peanut butter, sugar, flour, eggs, and sometimes additional ingredients like vanilla extract or baking soda to enhance texture and flavor. The rich, nutty taste and crisp, crumbly texture make them a delightful dessert or snack option. Peanut butter itself is a source of protein, healthy fats, and essential vitamins like B3 and magnesium. However, peanut butter cookies are often high in added sugars and calories, which can contribute to weight gain if consumed in excess. Choosing recipes or store-bought versions with natural peanut butter and minimal added sugar can make them a slightly healthier choice while still satisfying your sweet tooth.
