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.

I'm not a big fan of peanut butter cookies, but these ones are actually pretty good. The dried cherries add a nice touch of sweetness and tartness.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover dried cherries. They're also a nice change from the traditional chocolate chip cookie.

I love these cookies! They're so easy to make and they always turn out perfect. I usually double the recipe because they disappear so quickly.

I found these cookies to be a bit dry. I think next time I'll add a little bit of extra butter to the dough.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think next time I'll try using less sugar.
