THE BEST PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES IN THE WORLD!



The Best Peanut Butter Cookies In The World! image

I got this recipe from a wife of a co-worker. The recipe is called "Peanut Butter Cookies" but they are honestly the best peanut butter cookies that I have ever tasted in my life. I have not made these myself before because my boyfriend isn't crazy about peanut butter cookies so I do not know how much the recipe will make so I am going to give it my best estimated guess. For all of you peanut butter cookie lovers, I really hope that you enjoy this recipe as much as I did.

THE WORLD'S BEST PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES



The World's Best Peanut Butter Cookies image

The name of the recipe says it all. While it is my description of these cookies, it is also the actual name of the recipe that was printed in a small booklet of recipes that came out of a bag of Gold Medal Flour at least 40 years ago. Tried and true, this is the only peanut butter cookie recipe my mother ever made, and it is the only recipe I will use. Prepared as described below, the cookies are soft, yet crispy.

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h

Yield 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 3/4 cups self-rising flour
sugar, for coating

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Cream together butter, peanut butter, brown sugar and sugar until nice and smooth.
  • Add egg and vanilla and beat in well with a spoon.
  • Gradually add the self-rising flour. Dough will be stiff.
  • Form one inch balls and roll in sugar (I like to toss a dozen of the dough balls into a bag with sugar, shake gently to coat and then leave them in the bag for a couple minutes so a thicker coat of sugar adheres to the dough, then give another light shake before removing them from the bag. But just giving them a quick roll is fine).
  • Place sugared dough balls onto an UNGREASED baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Flatten balls with the back of a fork (or if you want flat tops you can flatten them with the bottom of a drinking glass. I usually flatten them with the textured side of my meat cleaver giving the cookies a nice waffle pattern).
  • Optional step: You can sprinkle a little extra sugar onto the tops after they are flattened if you like. It adds a little "crunch" to this soft cookie.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges just start to turn brown. Remove from the oven and cool cookies on baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to cooling racks.
  • Note: While baking one batch of cookies, cover the remaining dough with plastic wrap so it doesn't dry out. I generally form the dough balls for the next batch while the previous batch is cooling on the baking sheet.
  • Variation: To give a Christmas touch. Dip the bottom half of the dough balls in regular sugar, then dip the top half of the balls in colored sugar crystals. Then flatten and bake as directed.
  • Enjoy!

BEST PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES EVER



Best Peanut Butter Cookies Ever image

These cookies have been loved by the most anti-peanut butter cookie people. The trick is twice as much peanut butter as your average-joe cookie recipe, and some leavening changes to help turn out a thick, chewy cookie. And the peanut butter matters... I use Adams brand natural organic peanut butter (you can pour out some of the oil if you want), or you can make your own at a health food store like Wild Oats or Whole Foods.

Time 45m

Yield 18 cookies, 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 dash salt
1/3 cup butter, room temperature
3/4 cup peanut butter, the good stuff
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • In a bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • Beat together the butter, peanut butter, and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla, then egg and egg yolk. Gradually beat in the flour mixture.
  • Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, or about 2 hours.Take over-filled tablespoonfuls of dough and drop onto greased/floured cookie sheet about 3 inches apart. Lightly press down each cookie. Using a dinner fork dipped in cold water, lightly press cookies, flattening and forming a criss-cross pattern on each cookie. They won't flatten much more in baking so they should already look cookie-ish.
  • Bake at 375° until golden brown, or about 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on baking sheets for a minute; transfer to rack to cool completely.
  • Makes about 1 1/2 dozen big peanut butter cookies.

These are the best peanut butter cookies I have ever eaten. They are soft and chewy. They are great when you add the nuts and chocolate chips.

Tips:

  • Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth dough and a richer peanut butter flavor.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
  • If you don't have a cookie scoop, use a spoon to drop the dough onto the baking sheet. Just be sure to space the cookies evenly so they don't run into each other while baking.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just starting to turn golden brown. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:

These peanut butter cookies are the perfect combination of chewy and crispy, with a rich peanut butter flavor that will satisfy any sweet tooth. They're easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying treat, give these peanut butter cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
