My favorite peanut butter cookie. Not too peanuty and a nice texture. Makes 20 regular-size or 10 3-inch cookies.

Categories     Dessert

Time 24m

Yield 10 three inch cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, softened
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375°.
  • In large bowl, combine sugars, margarine, peanut butter, vanilla and egg; beat well.
  • Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup and level off.
  • Add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; mix well.
  • If you are making the large cookies, it helps to chill the dough for an hour or so at this point, before shaping. It seems to make a firmer cookie--less likely to break. If you aren't concerned about that, you can skip this step.
  • Shape about 1/4 cup dough (for 3-inch cookie) into a ball and place 4 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet (6 per sheet).
  • Bake at 375° for 13-16 minutes.
  • Remove from cookie sheet and cool completely on wire rack.

BIG, SUPER-NUTTY PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES



Big, Super-Nutty Peanut Butter Cookies image

I found this recipe on the Cooks Illustrated website and it is very good! Bringing the butter, peanut butter, and eggs to room temperature makes it easier to blend the ingredients. Be sure to grind the peanuts, since whole, and even chopped peanuts tend to slip out of the dough. If using unsalted butter, increase salt to 1 teaspoon. Keep finished cookies refrigerated in airtight container. To restore just-baked chewiness, wrap a cookie in a sheet of paper towel and microwave for approximately 25 seconds. Cool before serving.

Time 32m

Yield 36 Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/2 lb butter, salted (2 sticks)
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup extra-crunchy peanut butter, preferably Jif
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup dry roasted salted peanut, ground in food processor to resemble bread crumbs, about 14 pulses (about 1 cup, packed)

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to low center position; heat oven to 350 degrees. Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in medium bowl.
  • In bowl of electric mixer or by hand, beat butter until creamy. Add sugars; beat until fluffy, about 3 minutes with electric mixer, stopping to scrape down bowl as necessary. Beat in peanut butter until fully incorporated, then eggs, one at a time, then vanilla. Gently stir dry ingredients into peanut butter mixture. Add ground peanuts; stir gently until just incorporated.
  • Working with 2 tablespoons dough at a time, roll into large balls, placing them 2 inches apart on a parchment-covered cookie sheet. Following illustration 2, press each dough ball with back of dinner fork dipped in cold water to make crisscross design. Bake until cookies are puffed and slightly brown along edges, but not top, 10 to 12 minutes (they will not look fully baked). Cool cookies on cookie sheet until set, about 4 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely. Cookies will keep, refrigerated in an airtight container, up to 7 days.

Tips:

  • Use good quality peanut butter. This is the main ingredient in the cookies, so it's important to use a brand that you like the taste of. Look for a peanut butter that is made with 100% peanuts and does not contain any added sugar or salt.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature. This will help the cookies to get crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to firm up.

Conclusion:

These big, super nutty peanut butter cookies are the perfect treat for peanut butter lovers. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are looking for a snack, a dessert, or a gift, these cookies are sure to please.
