Peanut Butter or cookies containing peanuts have been around forever, George Washington Carver and American agricultural educator from Tuskegee Institute, in 1916 wrote: “How to Grow the Peanut and 105 Ways of Preparing it for Human Consumption” of course out of the 105 ways there were three recipes for peanut cookies using crushed or chopped peanuts as an ingredient. It was not until the early 1920s that peanut butter would be listed as an ingredient in the cookies themselves.

An early method of preparing peanut butter cookies was to roll thin and cut into shapes or make into balls. The first Peanut Butter Cookies did not have fork marks originally. It has been said The first reference to the famous criss-cross marks created with fork tines was published in the Schenectady Gazette on July 1, 1932. The Peanut Butter Cookies recipe said, “Shape into balls and after placing them on the cookie sheet, press each one down with a fork, first one way and then the other, so they look like squares on waffles.”
