Time 2h

Yield Makes 5 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup natural smooth peanut butter, such as Smucker's All Natural
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup light-brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup dried cherries, chopped
1/2 cup salted cocktail peanuts, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter on medium-high speed until smooth. Add peanut butter and both sugars; beat until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla; beat just until combined.
  • Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Add cherries; toss to coat. Add flour mixture to peanut-butter mixture; beat on low speed just until combined. Stir in peanuts.
  • Scoop heaping-tablespoon balls onto baking sheets, 3 inches apart; flatten each slightly. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until just set, 16 to 18 minutes. Let cool on sheets 5 minutes, then transfer cookies to a wire rack; let cool completely. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container up to 1 week.

GLUTEN-FREE CHOCOLATE-CHERRY PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES



Gluten-Free Chocolate-Cherry Peanut Butter Cookies image

If you ask me, the best peanut butter cookies are a little chewy and almost raw in the middle, like a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. When I set out to create my own recipe, that's what I had in mind, and I think I succeeded. But after making these half a dozen times, I realized I wanted more. So I poked around the pantry and found some dried cherries. Just like that, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups met peanut butter and jelly. And there ain't nothing wrong with either.

Time 40m

Yield Makes about 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup smooth peanut butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg, beaten
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks, chopped
1/2 cup dried cherries, chopped

Steps:

  • Position the racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, using a wooden spoon, mix the peanut butter, 1/2 cup of the sugar, the egg, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the chocolate and cherries.
  • Using a 1-tablespoon measure, scoop heaping tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets and then roll them into balls (you should have about 24, depending on how much dough you've snacked on). Dip a fork in the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and make a crosshatch pattern on the cookies; dip the fork in sugar before marking each cookie.
  • Bake the cookies for about 15 minutes, until golden and set; shift the baking sheets from front to back and bottom to top halfway through baking. Let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

I've always loved my no-bake cookie recipe, but I was never able to place at the fair with it. So I mixed in some maraschino cherries, added a few drops of almond extract, and voila! We won a blue ribbon at the county fair in 2010. -Denise Wheeler, Newaygo, Michigan

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality peanut butter. Natural peanut butter without any added sugar or oil is ideal.
  • If you don't have dried cherries, you can use other dried fruits like cranberries, raisins, or apricots.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before enjoying them. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to firm up.

Conclusion:

These peanut butter cookies with dried cherries are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for any occasion, from a casual snack to a special dessert.
