PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES



Peanut Butter Cookies image

The hash mark may be one of the most prevalent symbols in modern life, but it's been the "mark" of peanut butter cookies for more than eighty years, and for good reason. Pressing a hash mark into each cookie ensures this dense dough will flatten out and bake evenly. While using this kitchen-tested recipe ensures your peanut butter cookies will turn out perfectly. It's been in Betty's back pocket for quite some time, and you can bet this recipe isn't going anywhere soon. Home cooks from all over have claimed this to be the best peanut butter cookie they've ever made-and we certainly agree! Soft and chewy with the perfect salty-sweet balance, these tender cookies will disappear at every potluck, party or cookie exchange. For an added bit of sparkle, roll your cookies in coarse sparkling sugar just before baking.

PEANUT-BUTTER-OAT DROP COOKIES WITH JAM



Peanut-Butter-Oat Drop Cookies with Jam image

These chewy treats are reminiscent of a PB&J and are a cinch to make-making this recipe a fun project to do with the aspiring little chefs in your life.

Provided by Riley Wofford

Categories     Cookie Recipes

Time 25m

Yield Makes about 18

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tablespoons softened unsalted butter
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (we use Diamond Crystal)
1 large egg yolk, room-temperature
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 cup quick-cooking oats
1 recipe Frozen-Berry Jam

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Combine butter, brown sugar, peanut butter, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  • Beat in egg yolk and vanilla, then add flour and mix until just combined. Scoop dough into 1-inch balls and roll in oats to coat; place cookies on parchment-lined baking sheets, spaced 1 inch apart.
  • Bake, rotating pans halfway through, until puffed and just set around edges, 10 to 12 minutes. While cookies are still warm, indent centers with the end of a wooden spoon; fill each with 1/2 teaspoon jam. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely before serving.

Tips:

  • Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth and rich flavor.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
  • Use a cookie scoop to ensure that the cookies are uniform in size and shape.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are just set.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
