GIANT PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES



Giant Peanut Butter Cookies image

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

Provided by SharleneW

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.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 3h20m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling (see Cook's Note)
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 sticks (16 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 cups smooth peanut butter
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups smooth peanut butter
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • For the cookies: Stir together the flour and baking soda in a bowl. Cream the butter and both sugars on high speed in an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until light, about 2 minutes. Add the peanut butter and beat until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat until incorporated. Beat in the vanilla. Add the flour mixture and beat on low until just combined. Divide the dough in half, form into 2 rectangles, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Cut a 12-inch peanut shape out of parchment to use as a template. Roll one piece of dough between two pieces of parchment to a rectangle a little bigger than the template. Remove the top piece of parchment and, using a pizza wheel or paring knife, cut the dough into a peanut shape. Reserve the dough scraps. Repeat with the remaining dough piece. Mold the scraps into a rectangle, wrap in plastic and chill along with the peanut shapes until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • For the filling: Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Beat the peanut butter and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until combined. Slowly add the confectioners' sugar, about a 1/4 cup at a time, beating in between additions, until completely incorporated.
  • To build the cookie: Roll out the chilled rectangle of dough scraps into a large rectangle about 1/4-inch thick. Use a pizza wheel or sharp paring knife to cut long strips about 1/2-inch wide. Transfer the peanut-shaped pieces of dough on their pieces of parchment to 2 baking sheets. Lay the dough strips on top of one of the peanut-shaped pieces of dough in a crisscross, freeform pattern to mimic the lines on a peanut. Use a rolling pin to gently flatten and adhere the strips to the peanut.
  • Bake the cookies until lightly golden around the edges and dry on top, about 30 minutes. Cool completely on the baking sheets on a wire rack.
  • Turn over the cookie without lines so it sits flat-side up on a flat serving plate. Spread the filling evenly to the edges. Top with the second cookie, lined-side up. Use a serrated knife to cut into squares for serving.

Tips and Conclusion: Baking the Perfect Giant Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies

Indulge in the delectable experience of baking giant chewy peanut butter cookies with these essential tips and a delectable conclusion:

  • Measure Ingredients Accurately: Precision is key in baking. Use measuring cups and spoons to ensure the correct proportions of ingredients for optimal cookie texture and flavor.
  • Cream Butter and Sugar Thoroughly: This step incorporates air into the mixture, resulting in a light and fluffy texture. Cream the butter and sugar until they are pale and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Use Fresh Peanut Butter: Opt for fresh, natural peanut butter for the best flavor. Avoid using peanut butter with added oils or sugars.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Bake at the Right Temperature: Bake the cookies at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Avoid overbaking as this can make the cookies dry.
  • Let Cookies Cool Completely: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps prevent them from breaking.
