Perfectly Peanut Butter Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Cream butter, peanut butter, and sugars together in a bowl; beat in eggs.
• In a separate bowl, sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; stir into butter mixture. Put dough in refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Roll dough into 1 inch balls and put on baking sheets. Flatten each ball with a fork, making a crisscross pattern. Bake in a preheated 375 degrees F oven for about 10 minutes or until cookies begin to brown.

Steps:

• Mix butter and sugars together using a hand mixer. Add in all remaining ingredients and mix until combined.
• Roll the dough into small 1 inch balls and place on cookie sheet. Squish to about 1/4 inch thick using a fork.
• Bake for 10 minutes at 375 degrees. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F; have ungreased shiny cookie sheets ready.
• In a large mixing bowl, with electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugars; next, beat in egg, peanut butter and vanilla.
• In a smaller bowl, sift together salt, baking soda and flour (I do this through a sieve, not with a sifter).
• With a wooden spoon, stir flour mixture into peanut butter mixture until a dough is formed.
• If desired, you could stir in about 1/2 cup (or more) of chocolate chips now; I usually don't (even though I'm a chocoholic) as I often just want a pure peanut butter cookie with nothing else in it, not even peanut bits.
• Stash dough in fridge while you clean up the dishes; this step isn't absolutely necessary but the fridge slightly firms up the dough, making it easier to work with.
• Drop by heaping teaspoons onto cookie sheets and press down, criss-cross style, with a fork-- the classic peanut butter cookie look.
• If fork sticks to cookies too much as you press down, lightly flour the fork.
• Bake in preheated oven for 7 to 9 minutes, or until edges are slightly darkened (I like to cook these at 7-1/2 minutes).
• Do not worry if they don't look done; cookies firm up as they cool and if you want chewier cookies it is very important not to overbake them.
• Add an extra minute if you like crispier cookies.
• Remove cookies from sheets after letting them rest on sheets for one minute, then let cooked cookies cool on racks.
• Store cookies in a tin or in cookie jar (airtight containers are best).
• I use a one-inch scoop to make the cookies; the approximate yield I get is 4-1/2 dozen cookies.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Process the peanuts in a food processor until very finely ground; it should be the consistency of almond flour. Whisk together the ground peanuts, flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
• Beat the brown sugar, granulated sugar, peanut butter, eggs, melted butter, honey and vanilla in a large bowl with an electric mixer until completely smooth. Add the dry ingredients and beat on low until a soft dough forms.
• Working with 2 tablespoons of dough at a time (or using a 1-ounce ice cream scoop), roll the dough into balls. Evenly space them on the prepared baking sheets (12 balls per sheet). Sprinkle with the raw sugar.
• Bake the cookies, 1 baking sheet at a time, until the edges are just set and just beginning to brown, 12 to 15 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, combine flour, soda, and salt. Mix well with a wire whisk set aside.
• In a large bowl, blend sugars, using an electric mixer set at medium speed. Add butter, and mix to form a grainy paste, scraping the sides of the bowl. Add eggs, peanut butter and vanilla and mix at medium speed until light and fluffy.
• Add the flour mixture and mix at low speed until just mixed.
• Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet. With a wet fork gently press cookies in a crisscrossed pattern. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until slightly brown along edges.

Steps:

• Sift together the dry ingredients and set aside. Cream the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer using the paddle attachment. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined. Add the peanut butter and continue beating on low speed. Add the sifted dry ingredients and beat until just blended. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and transfer to the refrigerator. Chill until firm, about 1 hour.
• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a silpat. Form dough into 1-inch balls. Place balls on cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Press down slightly with the palm of your hand. Using the tines of a fork, make a criss-cross pattern in the dough. Bake until rich golden brown, about 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool.
