Provided by Lise in Indiana

Categories     Dessert

Time 30m

Yield 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup butter
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 extra large eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3 -3 1/2 cups flour

Steps:

  • Cream together butter, peanut butter and both sugars until well blended. Add eggs and mix again. Stir in salt and baking powder.
  • Scrape the sides of the bowl if necessary. Add 3 cups of flour. of the bowl.
  • If you are going to wait to bake these cookies -- STOP here. Even if the dough is sticky. The flour will continue to absorb the moisture in the dough as it sits. If you are going to bake right away -- continue adding flour 1/4 cup at a time until the dough pulls away from the sides.
  • Knead the dough together gently before rolling out. Roll to 1/4 " and cut 2 1/2" cookies. Place on parchment-lines cookie sheets.
  • Bake at 350F for 7 minutes or until the center of the cookies look "dry.".

Tips:

  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much and keeps them from losing their shape.
  • Use high-quality peanut butter: The better the peanut butter, the better the cookies will taste. Look for a peanut butter that is made with 100% peanuts and no added sugar or salt.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The cookies should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes. Baking them at a higher temperature will make them dry out.
  • Let the cookies cool completely: The cookies will continue to set as they cool. Let them cool completely on a wire rack before storing them.

Conclusion:

Soft peanut butter cut-out cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are made with simple ingredients and can be decorated with a variety of toppings, such as sprinkles, chopped nuts, or candy. These cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
