Rich Peanut Butter Cookies Recipes

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:

• 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:

• Line 3 rimmed sheet trays with parchment paper.
• Add the peanut butter, butter and shortening to the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, and beat together. Add the brown sugar, and cream until light and fluffy, about 6 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well in between each addition. Beat in the vanilla and combine until mixed.
• Whisk the flour, baking soda and 3/4 teaspoon salt together in a medium bowl. Add the flour in 3 additions to the peanut butter mixture, beating until just combined. Stir in the peanut butter chips.
• Use a 1/2-cup ice cream scoop and scoop the cookie batter onto one of the prepared sheet trays. Gently press down the tops of the cookies with a fork making a criss-cross. Sprinkle each cookie with a small pinch of salt and sugar. Place in the refrigerator to firm up, at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place 6 firmed cookies on each prepared sheet tray, leaving at least 4 inches of space between the cookies. Bake in batches until golden, 18 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through baking.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
• In a medium bowl, stir peanut butter and sugar together until smooth. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the baking soda, salt, and vanilla. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place them 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets. Press a criss-cross into the top using the back of a fork.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
