If you have been eating peanut butter cookies all your life, you must have noticed that they have this crisscross pattern on top. Originally, the first peanut butter cookies did not have them until July 1, 1932, when a recipe on peanut butter cookies was published that incorporated pressing forks on cookie balls to flatten them. By doing so, all parts of the peanut butter cookie are cooked evenly, giving the same quality in every bite. Until now, it is almost impossible to see a peanut butter cookie without the crisscross pattern.

But peanut butter cookies are not only excellent for desserts, they are also perfect for snacks. So when you bake these all-time favorites, you can double the ingredients and you will have more cookies to keep for your daily cravings. You may have to place them in a tightly sealed container for the cookies not to lose their crunch. This way, you have ready snacks or desserts.
