PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

Peanut Butter Cookies

Classic peanut butter cookie flavor with a soft and chewy texture

Yield: 22-24 cookies

PREP IT!

  • 1¾ cups Flour, all purpose

  • ½ cup Flour, bread

  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon Sea salt, fine

  • 12 tablespoons Butter, salted, browned

  • ½ cup Peanut butter

  • ¾ cups Granulated sugar

  • 2/3 cups Brown sugar, DARK!, packed

  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

  • 2 Eggs, large

MAKE IT!

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.

  2. Stir together flours, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

  3. To make brown butter, place salted butter in a skillet and allow to cook on medium heat until butter begins to smell toasted and milk solids in the butter begin to turn a golden-brown color. Pour brown butter into a large bowl, cover it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until butter solidifies.

  4. Once butter solidifies, add granulated sugar and dark brown sugar to the bowl. With a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar together, on high, until mixture is light and fluffy for about 5 minutes.

  5. Add in peanut butter and beat for an additional 5-10 minutes until creamy.

  6. Add vanilla and 1 egg at a time and incorporate into butter and sugar mixture with mixer on low.

  7. With a rubber spatula, gently stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt until a dough forms.

  8. Cover dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

  9. Portion cookies into 22-24 equally sized dough balls (I use a black scoop so they all come out the same size) and place at least 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet.

  10. Bake 1 tray at a time in the middle rack of the oven for 8 to 9 minutes (for a light-colored pan), checking after 8 minutes of baking to make sure they don’t burn since everyone’s oven is different. Reduce bake time by 1 minute for a dark colored pan.

  11. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes and then using a spatula, transfer cookies to a plate or wire cooling rack to finish cooling or enjoy 2 minutes after taking them out of the oven for warm cookies.

  12. Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container.

Tip:

Reheat leftovers: in the oven on 350F until warmed through.
