THE BEST PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES



The Best Peanut Butter Cookies image

We wanted a super peanut buttery treat but found that store-bought peanut butter made the cookies a bit gummy when we used more than 1 cup. So we ground roasted peanuts ourselves and added that to the batter for an additional boost of flavor. Honey and melted butter add richness and create a soft and chewy cookie with an irresistible crackled exterior. We topped the dough balls with raw sugar for extra crunch and a hit of sweetness that balances the salt of the peanuts.

Time 1h30m

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup salted dry-roasted peanuts
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup creamy peanut butter (do not use "natural" peanut butter)
2 large eggs
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
3 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup raw sugar

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Process the peanuts in a food processor until very finely ground; it should be the consistency of almond flour. Whisk together the ground peanuts, flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Beat the brown sugar, granulated sugar, peanut butter, eggs, melted butter, honey and vanilla in a large bowl with an electric mixer until completely smooth. Add the dry ingredients and beat on low until a soft dough forms.
  • Working with 2 tablespoons of dough at a time (or using a 1-ounce ice cream scoop), roll the dough into balls. Evenly space them on the prepared baking sheets (12 balls per sheet). Sprinkle with the raw sugar.
  • Bake the cookies, 1 baking sheet at a time, until the edges are just set and just beginning to brown, 12 to 15 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

THE LAST PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES RECIPE YOU'LL EVER TRY



The Last Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe You'll Ever Try image

These are the most amazing cookies. They are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and freeze so well. You can't even tell they were frozen! The best part - they are drop cookies, no shaping necessary. If you love nuts, use crunchy peanut butter and add the nuts, if not, use creamy PB and 2 cups of peanut butter chips. Cook time is for one batch. Dough keeps well in fridge so you can bake a batch every day and have fresh cookies!

Time 25m

Yield 80-100 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups butter or 1 1/2 cups margarine
1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter or 1 1/2 cups crunchy peanut butter, your choice
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
3 eggs
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
3 3/4 cups flour
12 ounces peanut butter chips
1 cup nuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Cream peanut butter and margarine, add sugars and mix well.
  • Add eggs and mix until creamy.
  • Add remaining ingredients.
  • Chill for one hour-I usually skip this step and chill between batches.
  • Drop by teaspoonful onto cookie sheets- do not flatten.
  • Bake at 325°F for 15 minutes.
  • Cool on cookie sheets for about 5 minutes then transfer onto newspaper- the newspaper soaks up extra grease so the cookies don't become crumbly, little trick I learned from my MIL- this is also optional.
  • Edited to add - Immediately after the cookies are completely cooled I always transfer them to an airtight container. Several posters have mentioned the cookies get hard if you leave them out. I have never had that problem - these cookies have always stayed soft and moist if they are stored in an airtight container.

Tips:

  • Use creamy peanut butter. This will make the cookies smooth and rich.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before enjoying them. This will allow them to firm up and develop their full flavor.

These peanut butter cookies are the perfect treat for any occasion. They are easy to make, delicious, and 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!
