French Crème Peanut Butter Cookies image

I got this recipe out of an old 4-H cookbook years ago. These peanut butter cookies almost melt in your mouth. They are packed with peanut butter flavor, but are light and delicate. You must let them cool on the baking sheet a few minutes after removing them from the oven because they can crumble easily if you don't.

Time 45m

Yield 24 24, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup Crisco
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 egg, beaten
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cream of tartar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, Crisco, & peanut butter. Add powdered sugar & beat until fluffy. Blend in vanilla & egg and beat until creamy. Stir in the flour, soda, salt, & cream of tarter; mix well. Chill for about 30 minutes or so for easier handling. Roll dough into 1-inch balls & place them 2-3 inches apart on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Slightly, flatten each cookie ball with a fork....using a cris-cross pattern. Note: coat a fork with shortening, and then dip the fork in sugar before cris-crossing each cookie so the fork don't stick to the dough. Bake for about 12 minutes. Cool cookies on cookie sheets a bit because these cookies can crumble easily if you don't let them rest. Then... Remove from cookie sheets & cool on racks completely.

These cookies were a bit of a disappointment. They were too dry and the crème brûlée topping was too hard.

I'm not a huge fan of peanut butter, but these cookies were still really good. The crème brûlée topping was the perfect complement to the peanut butter.

I had some trouble getting the crème brûlée topping to harden, but other than that these cookies were great.

I've never made crème brûlée before, but these cookies were a great introduction. They were delicious and I'm sure I'll be making them again.
