Peanut Butter Cookies image

Buttery soft Peanut Butter Cookies! These are a classic cookie, but I'd bet that this recipe is a little different from the classic you're used to... this recipe uses all butter and no shortening!

Time 56m

Number Of Ingredients 11

10 Tablespoons unsalted butter, softened to room temperature ((141g))
½ cup creamy peanut butter¹ ((140g))
⅔ cup light brown sugar, tightly packed ((135g))
¼ cup granulated sugar ((50g))
1 large egg
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour ((188g))
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
¾ teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon salt
Additional granulated sugar for rolling

Steps:

  • Combine butter, peanut butter, and brown sugar and ¼ cup granulated sugar in a large bowl (or in the bowl of a stand mixer) and use an electric mixer to beat until creamy and well combined.
  • Add egg and vanilla extract and stir until well-combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gradually stir the flour mixture into the peanut butter mixture. Make sure to pause periodically to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure all ingredients are well-combined.
  • Cover mixing bowl with plastic wrap and place peanut butter cookie dough in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes to one hour (start with 30 minutes, if the dough is too sticky or your cookies are coming out of the oven too flat, chill for an additional half an hour. This dough may be chilled overnight if you'd like).
  • Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Once dough has chilled, remove from refrigerator and scoop into heaping 1 ½ Tablespoon-sized balls.
  • Roll the cookie dough between your palms until smooth and then roll thoroughly in additional granulated sugar. Place on prepared cookie sheet, spacing cookies at least 2" apart.
  • Use the tines of a fork to gently make a criss-cross pattern on the surface of each cookie by slightly pressing down.
  • Bake on 350F (175C) for 9-12 minutes. Edges should be just turning golden brown but the cookie centers should appear slightly under-baked, allow cookies to cool completely on the cookie sheets and the centers will finish baking (but remain soft and chewy) as they cool on the cookie sheet. Don't over-bake or the cookies will be dry.
  • Allow peanut butter cookies to cool completely on baking sheet before enjoying.

THE BEST PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES



The Best Peanut Butter Cookies image

We wanted a super peanut buttery treat but found that store-bought peanut butter made the cookies a bit gummy when we used more than 1 cup. So we ground roasted peanuts ourselves and added that to the batter for an additional boost of flavor. Honey and melted butter add richness and create a soft and chewy cookie with an irresistible crackled exterior. We topped the dough balls with raw sugar for extra crunch and a hit of sweetness that balances the salt of the peanuts.

Time 1h30m

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup salted dry-roasted peanuts
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup creamy peanut butter (do not use "natural" peanut butter)
2 large eggs
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
3 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup raw sugar

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Process the peanuts in a food processor until very finely ground; it should be the consistency of almond flour. Whisk together the ground peanuts, flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Beat the brown sugar, granulated sugar, peanut butter, eggs, melted butter, honey and vanilla in a large bowl with an electric mixer until completely smooth. Add the dry ingredients and beat on low until a soft dough forms.
  • Working with 2 tablespoons of dough at a time (or using a 1-ounce ice cream scoop), roll the dough into balls. Evenly space them on the prepared baking sheets (12 balls per sheet). Sprinkle with the raw sugar.
  • Bake the cookies, 1 baking sheet at a time, until the edges are just set and just beginning to brown, 12 to 15 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES



Peanut Butter Cookies image

No mixer is required to make these craggy rounds that deliver all the comfort of eating a spoonful of peanut butter straight out of the jar - but with the creamy-candy richness of peanut butter chips in each bite. (If you're a crunchy peanut butter person, you can throw in whole salted nuts, too.) Because of their low proportion of flour, these little disks develop fudgy centers inside lightly crisp edges. There are countless varieties of peanut butter in markets and all yield different cookie results. These use natural peanut butter, which is just peanuts blended with salt, so they taste especially peanutty.

Time 45m

Yield About 50 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup/65 grams all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 cup/113 grams unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup/108 grams granulated sugar
1/2 packed cup/93 grams brown sugar
1 cup/263 grams natural salted peanut butter (see Tip), at room temperature
1 large egg
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup/165 grams peanut butter chips
1/2 cup/74 grams lightly salted roasted peanuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. In a large bowl, using a wooden spoon or spatula, smash and mix butter and both sugars together until smooth and creamy. Add peanut butter and stir until incorporated. Add egg and vanilla, and stir until well combined. Add flour all at once and fold gently until dry bits disappear, then fold in the peanut butter chips and peanuts, if using, until evenly dispersed.
  • Using a small cookie scoop or a measuring tablespoon, drop rounds of dough on a prepared sheet, spacing 1½ inches apart. Bake until just dry on top and set along the edges, 10 to 11 minutes. Do not overbake. Scoop and drop dough onto the second sheet while the first bakes, then slide into the oven when the first comes out.
  • Place the baking sheets on racks to cool completely. The cookies will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
