GIANT PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

My favorite peanut butter cookie. Not too peanuty and a nice texture. Makes 20 regular-size or 10 3-inch cookies.

Provided by SharleneW

Categories     Dessert

Time 24m

Yield 10 three inch cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, softened
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375°.
  • In large bowl, combine sugars, margarine, peanut butter, vanilla and egg; beat well.
  • Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup and level off.
  • Add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; mix well.
  • If you are making the large cookies, it helps to chill the dough for an hour or so at this point, before shaping. It seems to make a firmer cookie--less likely to break. If you aren't concerned about that, you can skip this step.
  • Shape about 1/4 cup dough (for 3-inch cookie) into a ball and place 4 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet (6 per sheet).
  • Bake at 375° for 13-16 minutes.
  • Remove from cookie sheet and cool completely on wire rack.

"I like to add candy bars to cookie dough for a change of pace," writes Christine Beeman of Horseheads, New York. Crushed Clark bars give a boost of peanut butter and chocolate flavor to these flourless peanut butter cookies. "I took them to work and they were a big hit," she notes.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use high-quality peanut butter. Look for a brand that is made with 100% peanuts and no added oils or sugars.
  • To make sure your cookies are chewy, don't overmix the dough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • If you want your cookies to be extra chewy, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help them to rise and spread, resulting in a chewy texture.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before enjoying them. This will help them to set and develop their full flavor.
