Peanut Butter Chip Cookies

grannie geek, peanut butter chip cookiesMy husband, Richard, loves peanut butter. While he often slathers it on bread, rolls, crackers, and celery, I like to eat it by the spoonful right out of the jar.  I can’t help myself. Peanut butter by itself is such a simple pleasure – sweet, salty, creamy.  The perfect between meal pick-me-up.

I found a great peanut butter sheet cake recipe that I’ve made several times, and we love it!  But Richard offered a not so subtle hint on my grocery list:  COOKIES.  So I figured a cake was out.

Best Ever Peanut Butter Sheet Cake

Peanut-Butter-Sheet-CakeThis is the best peanut butter cake I’ve ever baked.  Richard loves peanut butter, so I’ve made several attempts over the years for a successful recipe.  To me, there’s never been enough peanut butter flavor, but this one did not disappoint.

It’s a rich sheet cake with a yummy peanut butter frosting that you cook on the stove top in a jiffy and pour over the warm moist cake.  You get plenty of creamy fudge-like frosting with each piece.  The directions for this recipe are a little different for me.  You boil the peanut butter, butter, and water before added to the dry ingredients.  No creaming the butter and sugars.  Sure makes for a nice moist cake.
