CRUNCHY PEANUT-BUTTER COOKIES



Crunchy Peanut-Butter Cookies image

These salty-sweet-crunchy confections make the best snack.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Time 45m

Yield Makes 48

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cups crunchy peanut butter
1 cup light brown sugar
1 stick softened unsalted butter
1 large egg
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. With an electric mixer, beat peanut butter, sugar, and butter until smooth. Beat in egg.
  • On low speed, mix in flour and baking powder until a dough forms.
  • Pinch off dough by the tablespoon; roll into balls. Place 2 inches apart on baking sheets (lined with parchment paper, if desired). With a floured fork, press balls in a crisscross fashion, flattening to a 1/2-inch thickness.
  • Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, until lightly golden, 18 to 22 minutes. Cool cookies on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.

Tips:

  • Use fresh peanut butter: Old or stale peanut butter can make your cookies dry and crumbly. Make sure to use a fresh jar of peanut butter that is smooth and creamy.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven. This will result in thicker, chewier cookies.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough can make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cookies until they are golden brown: The cookies are done baking when they are golden brown around the edges and just starting to brown in the center.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing: The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool. Let them cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.

Conclusion:

Mom's Peanut Butter Crunch Cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their chewy texture, peanut butter flavor, and crunchy topping, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give these cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
