Peanut Butter Cookies are amongst favorites of cookie lovers. This "Colorado" Peanut Butter Cookie recipe is a high-altitude cookie that bakes up thick and chewy while crunchy on the edges. Its rich flavor is due to the added apple vinegar and should not be omitted! The smooth Jiffy Peanut Butter is a perfect consistency for maintaining this cookie's structure at high-altitude (6,035 feet).

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
