A time-honored American classic. SKIPPY® Classic Peanut Butter Cookies are just like the ones that grandma used to make. Maybe even better.

Perfectly balancing sweetness and nuttiness, these cookies showcase the rich and distinct flavor of peanut butter. The crisp exterior and soft, chewy center, offer a delightful combination of tenderness and a subtle crumb in every bite. As they bake, the scent of warm peanut butter fills the kitchen, creating a mouthwatering anticipation for the moment you can sink your teeth in. These cookies are versatile and can be enjoyed on their own or paired with a glass of milk, hot cocoa, or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream. They make for a delightful snack, a treat to share with loved ones, or a classic addition to any dessert spread.
