June 12 is National Peanut Butter Cookie Day and since I love peanut butter, this is a perfect holiday.
20 favorite recipes using peanut butter:
Balls & Bites
1. Pretzel Peanut Caramel Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Truffles – salty and sweet, crunchy and smooth.
2. Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites (No-Bake, Vegan, GF) – Cookie dough never gets old
3. Peanut Butter and Jelly Thumbprint Cookies (No-Bake, Vegan, GF) – another version of peanut butter cookie dough without oats
Breads & Bars

I just made your peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. I bought the pb cup trail mix from trader joes and threw some of that in as well as I added some Jif Cappucino Chocolate Hazelnut Butter (so good, from Target). Delish! :)
You made them…yay! And you used some fun add-in’s…wow, I bet they’re amazing! thanks for making them and LMK!
Wow, everything looks delicious. Especially enticed by the PB donuts and chow!
the chow is super addictive in the best way :)
You have so many great PB recipes and I’d love to nibble my way down this entire post!!! My favorites are the PB cups, flourless PB cookies and pbj thumbprints. I also like a good old fashioned oatmeal cookie with PB chips or Reese’s pieces.
You’ve made so many…and thank you!!
Yay for peanut butter cookie day! I have 8 jars in my house right now (I wish I were kidding). I made these Oatmeal Peanut Butter Banana Cookies and few weeks ago and they are to. die. for.

I LOVE all of your recipes link ups too. Those pretzel peanut caramel PB cookie dough truffles are calling my name right now! :)

My first choice would be the peanut butter cups. Chocolate and peanut butter are the best together.
I think I just drooled on my keyboard.

MMMM that’s a food holiday I can totally get behind ;-) Good thing I just finished lunch and didn’t read this post hungry!
Averie, you are a Queen, the sweetest one! :) I don’t have any peanut butter recipes just because I don’t like peanuts and everything with it. But I think you may change my mind: your sweet creations are so beautifully delicious that I may try, and then for another Peanut Day I would have a favorite recipe, which would be one of your’s though… :) Have a good week!
Was just thinking about you…good to hear from you and hope you’re doing great :)
I just pulled a tray of peanut butter cookies from the oven… Off to pour some milk and get busy ;)
Yes, go! While they’re still warm :)
