Time 1h5m

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup vegetable shortening
1 3/4 cups packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
Kosher salt
1 cup peanut butter chips

Steps:

  • Line 3 rimmed sheet trays with parchment paper.
  • Add the peanut butter, butter and shortening to the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, and beat together. Add the brown sugar, and cream until light and fluffy, about 6 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well in between each addition. Beat in the vanilla and combine until mixed.
  • Whisk the flour, baking soda and 3/4 teaspoon salt together in a medium bowl. Add the flour in 3 additions to the peanut butter mixture, beating until just combined. Stir in the peanut butter chips.
  • Use a 1/2-cup ice cream scoop and scoop the cookie batter onto one of the prepared sheet trays. Gently press down the tops of the cookies with a fork making a criss-cross. Sprinkle each cookie with a small pinch of salt and sugar. Place in the refrigerator to firm up, at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Place 6 firmed cookies on each prepared sheet tray, leaving at least 4 inches of space between the cookies. Bake in batches until golden, 18 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through baking.

RUTH'S CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES



Ruth's Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies image

My mom used this recipe when I was a teenager and I've been making them since then. I love the background flavor of the peanut butter and love that it is not an overwhelming flavor of the cookie. Make sure to store in an airtight container. **Note 2/2010 - I have adjusted the amount of cookies you'll receive - this recipe makes 5 dozen cookies not 4.

RUTH'S PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES



Ruth's Peanut Butter Cookies image

This is my mom's recipe that she has been using since she was first married 60 years ago. I have searched thru all of the popular recipes here and this one is just a bit different.....most use only brown sugar or have both sugars but then don't use both baking powder and baking soda. I've never had these cookies turn out wrong and they freeze so well. Whether they get reviewed or not, I know I'll be making them for years to come and now I know they are safe here.
