Recipes for National Peanut Butter Cookie Day!

Since the 1890s, peanut butter has been a mainstay in the American home kitchen. George Washington Carver, the man who first created peanut butter, actually published the first known peanut butter cookie recipe, which used chunks of peanuts mixed into the cookie dough.

Some folks prefer a crispy cookie, while some prefer a chewy cookie. We thought we'd share one of each for you to enjoy to celebrate this delicious food holiday.

First, the chewy version:
