Cherry No-Bake Cookies image

I've always loved my no-bake cookie recipe, but I was never able to place at the fair with it. So I mixed in some maraschino cherries, added a few drops of almond extract, and voila! We won a blue ribbon at the county fair in 2010. -Denise Wheeler, Newaygo, Michigan

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.
