Peanut butter cookies remain a classic cookie favorite year after year.

They’re the cookie that eats like a meal and the best choice when kids are hungry but you’re out and about and there’s no “real food” to be found.

Peanut butter cookies are also a classic holiday treat. In fact, it’s a tradition in our house to make peanut butter cookies in the shape of reindeer every year.

For those with peanut allergies, fear not – SunButter makes a great alternative to peanut butter.
