Growing up I loved peanut butter cookies, they were my all time favorite for sure. I cannot really remember a time where we did not have peanut butter cookies made on Christmas or for the Holiday seasons. I do remember they were almost always bagged ones instead of homemade. I prefer to go with the homemade version instead of the store bought crap for many, many reasons. Number one reason is, the extra junk they add to the mix is not needed but they do it because they can! Yuck! These cookies honestly are the best ever! They are crispy on the outside and yet super chewy on the inside!
You Wil Need:
1/2 Cup Organic Butter, room temp
1/2 Cup Organic Brown Sugar
1/4 Cup Organic Sugar
1/2 Cup Organic Peanut Butter (or
homemade)
1 Organic Pasture-Rasied Egg, room temp
1 tsp Organic Vanilla Extract
1 1/3 Cup Organic Whole Wheat Flour
1/4 tsp Real Salt
3/4 tsp Baking Soda (Bob's Red Mill)
1/4 tsp Baking Powder
Cream the sugars and butter together
Add egg, and vanilla, mix well
Add the peanut butter and mix well
Looks so pretty
Mix in the dry ingredients
Perfection...
Cover in plastic cling and place in the fridge for 3 hours minimum
Using a 1 tbsp size ice cream scoop, scoop the dough and roll into a ball
Place on baking sheet lined with unbleached parchment paper
Dip a small fork into some sugar
Press down on cookies going in both directions opposite each other, this gives the cookies that classic look
Bake 350 for 9-11 minutes
I took ours down front for the office staff and the guests here at our apartment place! They look amazing!
