Peanut butter chip cookies are a delicious dessert that combines the smoothness of peanut butter with the sweet and crunchy touch of chocolate chips and peanuts. Their origin dates back to the United States, where peanut butter is an iconic and widely used ingredient in baking. In Latin America, although peanut butter is not as traditional as in North America, this variant has gained popularity and is easily adapted using local ingredients.
In different regions of Latin America, these cookies may be known by various names. For example, in Mexico they are simply called "peanut butter cookies," while in countries like Argentina or Colombia they are sometimes referred to as "peanut cream cookies." The preparation and base ingredients are very similar, reflecting the influence of American cuisine mixed with local flavors.
