CRISS CROSS PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES



Criss Cross Peanut Butter Cookies image

One of my faves from Grandma Nell. My dad used to make these as well. Everyone turns into a cookie monster when you make them. I use chunky peanut butter.

Provided by Aimchick

Categories     Dessert

Time 32m

Yield 50 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 1/4 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Cream together butter, peanut butter, sugar, brown sugar and eggs.
  • Sift in dry ingredients and combine well.
  • Roll in to balls and place on a cookie sheet.
  • Flatten balls with a fork, creating the criss cross pattern.
  • Bake 12 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality peanut butter: The quality of the peanut butter you use will greatly impact the flavor of your cookies. Choose a natural or organic peanut butter that has no added sugar or oil.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps to firm it up and prevents it from spreading too much in the oven. This will result in thicker, chewier cookies.
  • Use a cookie scoop: A cookie scoop is a great way to ensure that your cookies are all the same size and shape. This will help them to bake evenly.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help to prevent them from becoming too soft and crumbly.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter criss-cross cookies are a classic treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make, delicious, and loved by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your peanut butter criss-cross cookies turn out perfect every time. So preheat your oven and get baking!
