Peanut Butter Cutout Cookies
I used peanut butter in place of the butter in my take on a traditional cutout cookie, which turned out super nutty and soft. My children love to decorate the cookie with frosting, sprinkles and some creativity. —Cindi Bauer, Marshfield, Wisconsin
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
