The Peanut Butter Cookie was invented in the 1910s by George Washington Carver. He published his book on the peanut and how to use it. The book was entitled, "How to Grow the Peanut and 105 Ways of Preparing it for Human Consumption". He included several recipes that called for chopped peanuts. Peanut Butter was added to the cookies about 20 years later.
