Peanut Butter-Raisin Bran Cookies

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to gather:

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups raisin bran cereal
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (optional, because why not?)

Instructions

Now that you’ve got your ingredients ready, let’s get cooking:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This is crucial, y’all! A warm oven makes for warm cookies.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy—it’s like a delicious dance in your bowl!
  3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the baking soda and salt with your dry ingredients. Gradually mix this dry combo into your wet ingredients. It might get a little sticky, but don’t worry; that’s what we want!
  5. Now, gently fold in the raisin bran cereal and those chocolate chips if you’re feeling a little extra sweet.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, giving them enough space to spread out while they bake.
  7. Bake in your preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges start to turn a lovely golden brown. They’ll continue to firm up as they cool, so don’t worry if they seem soft at first.
  8. Once out of the oven, let them sit on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

And there you have it! Y’all, these Peanut Butter-Raisin Bran Cookies are absolutely delightful. Grab a glass of milk and enjoy your homemade treats. It’s time to share these with family and friends and spread the joy!
