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.

PERFECT PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES



Perfect Peanut Butter Cookies image

When peanut butter cookies are requested in my home, this is the recipe I turn to. It's one of my favourites!

Provided by Lennie

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 23m

Yield 50 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 large egg
1 cup smooth peanut butter (not crunchy, I think crunchy ruins the texture)
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F; have ungreased shiny cookie sheets ready.
  • In a large mixing bowl, with electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugars; next, beat in egg, peanut butter and vanilla.
  • In a smaller bowl, sift together salt, baking soda and flour (I do this through a sieve, not with a sifter).
  • With a wooden spoon, stir flour mixture into peanut butter mixture until a dough is formed.
  • If desired, you could stir in about 1/2 cup (or more) of chocolate chips now; I usually don't (even though I'm a chocoholic) as I often just want a pure peanut butter cookie with nothing else in it, not even peanut bits.
  • Stash dough in fridge while you clean up the dishes; this step isn't absolutely necessary but the fridge slightly firms up the dough, making it easier to work with.
  • Drop by heaping teaspoons onto cookie sheets and press down, criss-cross style, with a fork-- the classic peanut butter cookie look.
  • If fork sticks to cookies too much as you press down, lightly flour the fork.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 7 to 9 minutes, or until edges are slightly darkened (I like to cook these at 7-1/2 minutes).
  • Do not worry if they don't look done; cookies firm up as they cool and if you want chewier cookies it is very important not to overbake them.
  • Add an extra minute if you like crispier cookies.
  • Remove cookies from sheets after letting them rest on sheets for one minute, then let cooked cookies cool on racks.
  • Store cookies in a tin or in cookie jar (airtight containers are best).
  • I use a one-inch scoop to make the cookies; the approximate yield I get is 4-1/2 dozen cookies.

Tips:

  • Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth and rich cookie.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown for a chewy cookie.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter cookies are a classic American treat that is loved by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized with different add-ins, such as chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit. These peanut butter cookies are a delicious and satisfying snack that is perfect for any occasion.
