Peanut Butter Cookies
Ingredients list:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter
- 1 cup of sugar, granulated
- One cup of dense brown sugar
- One cup of smooth peanut butter
- Two big eggs
- One tsp vanilla essence
- Three cups of all-purpose flour
- One tsp baking powder
- One-half tsp baking soda
- Half a teaspoon of salt
- Extra powdered sugar (optional) for rolling
Step By Step Guidelines:
1. Warm up the oven:
- Set the oven temperature to 350°F (180°C). Use parchment paper to line baking sheets.
2. Cream, butter, and sugars:
- Beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a sizable mixing basin until the mixture is light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs and peanut butter:
- To the creamed mixture, add the eggs, peanut butter, and vanilla extract. Beat until thoroughly mixed.
4. Mix the dry ingredients together:
- Mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a another basin.
5. Combine the wet and dry. Components:
- Mixing until just incorporated, gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ones. Avoid over-mixing.
6. Shape the dough into balls:
- form the cookie dough into tablespoon-sized chunks and form them into balls. To give the outside of each ball a little crunch, feel free to coat them in extra powdered sugar.
7. Transfer to Baking Sheets:
- Leaving some space between each, place the cookie dough balls on the baking sheets that have been prepared.
8. Use a fork to flatten (optional):
- If you enjoy the traditional peanut butter cookie crisscross design, you can use a fork to gently press each ball of cookie dough to make a pattern on top.
9. Cook:
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown, in a preheated oven. While they cool, the centers will continue to set even if they may appear a little underdone.
10. Cool:
- After a few minutes, let the cookies cool on the baking sheets before moving them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
11. Have fun:
- Enjoy your handmade peanut butter cookies after they've totally cooled!
These cookies have a wonderful peanut butter flavor and are chewy and moist. If you would like, you can also add chopped peanuts or chocolate chips for more texture. Cheers to your baking!
