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 COOKIES



Peanut Cookies image

At Loaves and Fishes we have huge glass jars filled with a variety of very large cookies. Since we opened our doors, we have had to refill the peanut cookie jar over and over each day. This recipe is for our loyal customers and our guests at the Inn, who enjoy a good cookie.

Yield Yields about 30 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 tablespoons softened butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup shelled salted peanuts
2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, melted and cooled (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a baking sheet.
  • In a bowl, cream the butter and sugars with an electric mixer until the mixture is light. Add the vanilla extract and egg. Beat well. Add the flour, baking powder, and peanuts. Blend well.
  • Drop rounded tablespoons of batter, 2 inches apart, onto the baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cookies are light brown. Cool. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled cookies. Store in a cool, dry place.

Tips:

  • Use creamy peanut butter for a smoother, richer flavor.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing them in an airtight container.

Conclusion:

These peanut butter cookies are a classic for a reason. They're easy to make, delicious, and loved by people of all ages. With their soft, chewy texture and rich peanut butter flavor, they're the perfect treat for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a sweet snack, give these cookies a try. You won't be disappointed.
