SALTY-SWEET PEANUT BUTTER SANDIES



Salty-Sweet Peanut Butter Sandies image

This modern classic is reverse-engineered from a cult cookie at City Bakery in Manhattan. They are saltier, richer and tangier than the usual crisscross rounds, thanks to updated ingredients like sea salt, cultured butter and brown sugar. And like any good "sandy" cookie, they have a soft, crumbly texture that melts away on first bite.

Provided by Julia Moskin

Categories     snack, cookies and bars, dessert

Time 1h

Yield 3 to 4 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup/228 grams/2 sticks unsalted butter, preferably cultured, softened at room temperature
3/4 cup/150 grams granulated sugar
3/4 cup (packed)/170 grams light brown sugar
1 heaping teaspoon/6 grams kosher salt
2 cups/510 grams unsweetened peanut butter, creamy or chunky
2 eggs, at room temperature
2 cups/250 grams all-purpose flour
Flaky sea salt and coarse sugar for sprinkling (or use kosher salt and granulated sugar)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick liners. In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugars until smooth and fluffy, at least 3 minutes. Add the peanut butter and eggs, and mix. Add the flour and salt and mix just until well combined, with no white flour showing.
  • Using a small cookie scoop (about 2 teaspoons capacity), scoop dough onto prepared pans. The tops will be rounded but craggy. The cookies will not spread much or change shape when they bake, so they can be placed quite close together, but leave room for air circulation so they can brown.
  • In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons sugar with 1 tablespoon salt. Sprinkle each cookie lightly with sugar-salt mixture, getting it into the crags and crannies. Bake 12 to 15 minutes, until cookies are set and golden-brown. Carefully lift or slide off baking sheets and cool on racks. Store in layers separated by parchment paper, in airtight containers.

SLICE AND BAKE PEANUT BUTTER SANDIES



Slice and Bake Peanut Butter Sandies image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 2h30m

Yield about 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon fine salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/3 cup smooth peanut butter
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
12 peanuts, halved

Steps:

  • Whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Combine the butter, peanut butter and brown sugar in another medium bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the flour mixture and blend until just combined. Shape the dough into a log: Place it onto a piece of plastic wrap about 18 inches long. Use your hands to pat the dough into a log about 7 inches long and 2 inches around. Roll the plastic wrap around the dough. Twist both ends of the wrap, like a candy, and tighten both sides until the dough log is compact and tightly wrapped (this might cause the dough to shrink down to a 6-inch log instead of a 7-inch log, but that is okay). Tuck the twisted ends under the dough and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.
  • When ready to bake the cookies, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and arrange 2 racks in the middle of the oven. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Remove the plastic wrap from the dough and use a sharp knife to slice the dough into 1/8-inch-thick rounds. Place the rounds about 1 inch apart on the baking sheets, about 12 cookies per baking sheet. Press a halved peanut into the center of each cookie. If the dough is still very cold, it might crack slightly around the peanut. Simply use your finger to lightly push the dough back together.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are very lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Halfway through cooking, rotate the baking sheets front to back and top to bottom.
  • Cool the cookies slightly on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, and then transfer to a cooling rack and cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality butter: The flavor of the butter will shine through in the cookies, so use the best butter you can find.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the cookies, making them light and tender.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing can make the cookies tough, so mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at a moderate temperature: This will help to prevent them from browning too quickly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving: This will help them to firm up and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:
