Peanut butter cookies are a popular type of cookie made with peanut butter as a main ingredient. The history of peanut butter cookies dates back to the late 19th century. The invention of peanut butter in 1895 by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, a physician and health food advocate, paved the way for the creation of peanut butter cookies.
The first published recipe for peanut butter cookies appeared in a cookbook called "Practical Housekeeping" by a woman named Mrs. Rorer in 1916. The recipe was simple, calling for just peanut butter, sugar, and an egg. Over time, variations on the recipe emerged, with additions like flour and baking powder to give the cookies a more traditional cookie texture.
Peanut butter cookies grew in popularity throughout the 20th century, becoming a beloved American treat. Today, peanut butter cookies are enjoyed all over the world and are often a favorite among children and adults alike. They are typically soft and chewy with a slightly nutty, sweet flavor.
