Don’t you hate it when a sweet tooth craving strikes and you don’t have a single treat in the house? I typically find myself scavenging through my pantry trying to figure out what I can make with the ingredients on hand. And peanut butter cookies are very often the answer. This recipe makes the baking process even easier with a mix that can be made up ahead of time! Just add the wet ingredients and your cookies are ready for the oven.
As the name suggested, these cookies are made with powdered peanut butter. There are several different brands of the powdered version available and they should be found in the grocery aisle with the rest of the peanut butters. The powdered stuff still has plenty of protein, but less fat. And, of course, that delicious peanut butter flavor we all know and love! It’s perfect for baking and we can’t wait to find other ways to use it in our baking endeavors.
Sift the dry ingredient together and then it’s decision time: do you make up a batch of cookies now or package the mix for a later treat! This mix makes the perfect holiday gift or neighborhood welcome. Just make sure to include the directions. Give this easy Peanut Butter Cookie Mix a try and I’m sure you’ll want it on hand at all times!
