Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1½ cups (387 g) creamy peanut butter
½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, (softened)
½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
½ cup (100 g) light brown sugar, (packed)
1 large egg, (room temperature)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1¼ cups (160 g) all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
4 cups (500 g) confectioners' sugar, (sifted)
¾ cup (1½ sticks / 170 g) butter, (room temperature)
2⅔ cups (688 g) creamy peanut butter
¾ cup (178.5 g) heavy cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
2½ cups (20 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
¼ cup (54.5 g) vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the peanut butter, butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well blended. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; stir into creamed mixture.
  • Scoop dough into balls. (I used a 3-tablespoon scoop.) Place cookies 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Gently press each ball of dough with the bottom of a glass to slightly flatten. (Note: Dip the bottom of the glass in confectioners' sugar if glass is sticking to dough.)
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are lightly browned. Do not overbake!
  • Cool completely on a cooling rack, about 45 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, use a hand mixer on low speed to beat the confectioners' sugar, butter, peanut butter, heavy cream, vanilla, and salt.
  • Increase the speed to high and beat until light and fluffy.
  • Place frosting in piping bag fitted with tip.
  • On top of each cooled cookie, pipe frosting in a tall swirl, getting as much height as possible. Place frosted cookies in the refrigerator while making chocolate coating, about 15 minutes.
  • In a small microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips and oil uncovered, on high, for 30 seconds, then 10 to 15 seconds, stirring after each interval, until mixture is smooth.
  • Dip the cone-shaped frosted cookies into the chocolate coating to coat most of the frosting, letting excess chocolate drip off. Let the chocolate set (about 15 minutes) before serving.

Yield About 2 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup creamy peanut butter
2/3 cup granulated sugar, plus more for rolling
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar

PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies image

I love these rich, very sweet, addictive cookies. I adapted this recipe from one I found and loved on allrecipes.com. I have altered it somewhat to suit my tastes and my preferred baking techniques but this is based on the recipe known there as Aunt Cora's World's Best Cookies. Cook time is per batch, cooking one sheet at a time.

Provided by HeatherFeather

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 30m

Yield 36-48 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup sweet unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup sweet creamy peanut butter (do not use reduced fat versions - I use Jiff or Peter Pan brands)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar or 1 cup light muscovado sugar, packed
2 large eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Have ready at least 2 baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
  • Cream butter until smooth.
  • Add peanut butter and both sugars and beat until combined well.
  • Add egg and beat well.
  • Stir in flour and baking soda gradually until well combined.
  • Stir in chocolate chips by hand.
  • Using a meatball scooper or a spoon, scoop out small portions of dough and drop onto parchment lined cookie sheets, leaving 2" gap between each cookie.
  • Bake for about 15 minutes or until cookies are just firm around the edges- don't overbake- if you wait until they are brown on top, they will be too hard.
  • Slide parchment sheet, cookies and all, carefully off pan and onto your counter, set a new piece of parchment paper onto your baking sheet and repeat until all dough is baked.
  • Meanwhile, as the next batch bakes, remove baked cookies from the parchment and let cool completely on wire racks.
  • Wipe off the crumbs from the old sheet of parchment and you can reuse it for your next batch.
  • These will keep about 3 days stored in a cookie tin (for crisp cookies) or an airtight plastic container (for softer cookies).

Provided by Betty Crocker Kitchens

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h50m

Yield 28

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 cups cake flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
3/4 cup milk
1 1/2 cups butter, softened
1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
1 jar (7 oz) marshmallow creme
3 cups powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 cups milk chocolate chips (18 oz)
6 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Place paper baking cups in 28 regular-size muffin cups. In medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
  • In large bowl, beat 1 cup butter and the granulated sugar with electric mixer on medium speed about 5 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in 2 teaspoons vanilla. On low speed, alternately add flour mixture, about 1/3 of mixture at a time, and milk, about 1/2 at a time, beating just until blended. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups.
  • Bake 20 to 24 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of cupcake comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes. Remove cupcakes from pans; place on cooling racks. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • In large bowl, beat 1 1/2 cups butter and the peanut butter with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Beat in marshmallow creme. On low speed, gradually add powdered sugar until blended. Add 2 teaspoons vanilla; beat 3 minutes longer.
  • Spoon frosting into decorating bag fitted with large round tip. On top of each cupcake, pipe frosting in circles making cone shape with peak in center. Refrigerate cupcakes at least 45 minutes to harden frosting before dipping in chocolate coating.
  • In 1 1/2-quart saucepan, heat chocolate chips and oil over low heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Dip cone-shaped frosting on each cupcake into chocolate coating to coat frosting completely, letting excess chocolate drip off. Refrigerate to set coating, about 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect texture for your Chocolate Peanut Butter Hi-Hat Cookies, make sure to 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.
  • For the best peanut butter flavor, use a creamy, all-natural peanut butter. Avoid using peanut butter spreads or peanut butter with added sugar or oils.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a Ziploc bag with the corner snipped off to create the peanut butter filling. Just be sure to pipe the filling slowly and carefully to avoid tearing the cookie dough.
  • To ensure that the chocolate coating sets properly, place the cookies in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help the chocolate harden and prevent it from melting.

Conclusion:

Chocolate Peanut Butter Hi-Hat Cookies are a delightful treat that combines the classic flavors of chocolate and peanut butter in a unique and irresistible way. With their crisp chocolate exteriors and soft, chewy peanut butter centers, these cookies are sure to be a hit with chocolate and peanut butter lovers alike.
