During his visit, the LD also requested peanut butter cookies (actually he’s been requesting these for a while, but I haven’t had the time to bake them). In the process of making these cookies, I discovered that finding a base recipe for classic peanut butter cookies is actually fairly challenging. So if you’re looking for a spin on the traditional PB Cookie, they are definitely out there and a simple Taste Spotting or Food Gawker search will find them.
Now let’s get to my classic peanut butter cookie:
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup sugar
- Whip the butter and sugars together for approx. 3 minutes until completely blended and fluffy.
- 2 cups peanut butter
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 2/3 cup chopped peanuts
- 1/2 cup peanut butter chips
- Combine the peanut butter, eggs, vanilla, chopped peanuts and peanut butter chips and mix for another 2 minutes.
- 2 2/3 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- Stir in all dry ingredients and mix until completely blended.
Scoop the cookies into medium to large sized balls, place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and place into a 350°F oven for 11-13 minutes. I like my cookies a bit gooey so I took them out at the 11 minute mark.
These cookies are best served to someone you enjoy and someone who enjoys a good PB cookie. Be sure to serve with a glass of cold milk! 🙂
