Growing up… my all time favorite cookies were just some old fashion peanut butter cookies. However, I have found it hard to find a recipe that I love as much as I remembered! We were able to find one that was close and have changed it some to my liking. I did add this home made peanut butter glaze to set it over the top since I love peanut butter so much! These are literally the best Glazed peanut butter cookies!

You can still make the traditional crisscrossed version with these cookies and they are equally moist as they are delicious! Keeping a moist cookie was one of my problems with other recipes I’ve tried. Like I said , these cookies are great just like this so if your wanting a simple peanut butter cookie as well, these are perfect.
If you love Peanut butter cookies though… I highly recommend taking the extra time to make the Peanut butter Glaze and I’m sure you will be glad you did! It only takes a few extra minutes… I promise! Just look at these glazed peanut butter Cookies I have finished. Yum!

May I know. What is T meaning? I mean like ‘6 T. Butter cup’ what is T? Thankyou
Hi! I apologize, I just saw your question and the T. in my recipes mean Tablespoon. I have been trying to edit this in all my recipes, as you are not the first to ask me this! My apologies again for the delay and for any confusion.
When do you add the peanut butter?
Hello Dee! You add your Peanut butter along with the egg and vanilla. Thanks for brining this to my attention!
I needed a glaze for 2-dozen banana-nut cupcakes & Google found your recipe for me. This glaze is spot-on outstanding on my cupcakes. I only cooled the cupcakes 15 minutes and applied the glaze while they were still a bit warm, knowing from your comments it was going to set up quickly. (You’re right-WORK FAST!) They cooled down together and couldn’t look more perfect. Just perfect flavor too, with the banana in the cupcakes, & so much nicer than a gloopy blob of buttercream would’ve been.
Hi Linda! Let me just say that they sound amazing! You literally had my mouth watering!I love banana and peanut butter recipes! I have a banana cake recipe I make with a peanut butter cream cheese frosting, but you have me curious on trying this glaze on the cake now! So glad this recipe could be a help!
