Time 1h5m

Yield 12 to 15 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Nonstick cooking spray
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
1 cup plus 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 cup smooth peanut butter
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 stick unsalted butter
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch fine salt

Steps:

  • For the cookie: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Pulse the oats in a food processor or mini chopper until finely ground. Whisk the ground oats, flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Mix the butter and 1 cup of the granulated sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, using either a hand mixer with a large bowl or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, about 4 minutes. Add the egg and beat until well incorporated. Beat in the peanut butter and vanilla until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. With the mixer on low, gradually add the flour mixture until the dough is well combined.
  • Scrape the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Using your hands, flatten and form the dough into a football shape, about 1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle the remaining 2 teaspoons sugar over the surface. Bake until the cookie is light golden brown and set, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool completely, about 15 minutes.
  • For the frosting: Beat the butter until creamy on medium speed in a medium bowl. Add the confectioners' sugar, milk, vanilla and salt. Beat until thick and creamy. Spoon the frosting into a quart-size zippered bag. Snip a small piece from the corner and pipe to create football laces or any other desired decorations.

PEANUT BUTTER ICING / FROSTING FOR COOKIES



Peanut Butter Icing / Frosting for Cookies image

Thick frosting that dries sort of shiny - perfect for cookies that need to be stacked and taken somewhere. I like the recipes I've seen for plain icing that dries, and played with it to make a peanut butter version since my father in law is always asking for peanut butter cookies. Prep time doesn't include frosting the cookies, which will vary depending on how detailed you get. I iced 32 (2-3") cookies.

Time 5m

Yield 32 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons corn syrup
1 -2 tablespoon milk
1 tablespoon imitation vanilla
food coloring, as desired

Steps:

  • Measure everything into mixing bowl. You want a thick pasty frosting, so start with just a little milk, and add enough to get a spreadable consistency. Beat well with a fork. Add additional corn syrup or milk if needed.
  • You can separate the icing into bowls and add different colors if desired.
  • Spread on cookies with butter knife. Allow to dry for about an hour, longer if you used a heavy layer.

Tips:

  • Use quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your cookies.
  • Make sure your butter and peanut butter are at room temperature. This will help them cream together smoothly.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

Frosted peanut butter football cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your cookies turn out perfectly every time.
