Ingredients:
| 1 cup unsalted butter, softened | 1 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour |
| 1 cup sugar | 1 cup Peanut Powder |
| 1 egg | 1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
| 1 teaspoon vanilla extract | 1/8 teaspoon salt |
Optional Stir-In Ingredients:
1 C Dried Cranberries or any other dried fruit

Let’s Bake!
1. PREHEAT oven to 350°F.
2. Beat butter and sugar on medium speed with electric in large bowl until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla. Beat just until blended.
3. ADD flour, peanut butter powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until combined. Gently stir in any add-ins at this time.
4. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 2-inches apart onto baking sheet. Using a fork, flatten slightly in a crisscross pattern with tines of the fork. I used the back of a soup spoon to flatten the ones with cranberries.
5. BAKE one baking sheet at a time 8 to 10 minutes, or until set and just beginning to brown around the edges. Cool 2 minutes on baking sheet. Then, move cookies to cooling rack to cool completely.
Tips:
- You can mix up and chill the dough for up to 24 hours.
- For a special treat, sandwich two cookies together with a scoop of ice cream in the middle. Roll the edge in chopped candy bar or nuts.
Makes about 36 cookies.

These cookies look so good. I have PB powder, so this is a great use for it. I am totally going to make these for my family.
Amy, it’s good to know I’m not the only one ingesting PB powder lol. I think you have a great idea, that’s very creative of you!. Thank you so much for commenting.
Since Paula is my name I had to check this recipe out. Couldn’t be any simpler & being vegan it will be easy enough to swap butter for vegan margarine.
Glad to meet another Paula. These cookies really are delicious and no one even knew that I used PB powder instead of PB when I gave them out in their cookie tins a few weeks ago.
I have never thought of adding cranberries to peanut butter cookies. Sounds delicious.
These cookies sound delicious!! I have never heard of peanut powder until now, I can’t wait to get some and try it! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!
Thank you for the recipe. Peanut Butter cookies are my favorite cookie.
I’ve never tried peanut powder. It does sound interesting. I’ll have to find some.
It’s in most stores now. Since we use it all the time, I get a big container of it at Walmart or Big Lots.
