Slice And Bake Peanut Butter Sandies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°.
• Prepare baking sheets with parchment paper or with a light coating of cooking spray.
• In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, cream together the powdered sugar, brown sugar, oil, butter and peanut butter together for 2 to 3 minutes until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla and beat another 1 or less until combined.
• Beat or stir in the dry ingredients until fully incorporated.
• Using rounded tablespoons, shape dough into balls about 1-inch in diameter. Place balls on baking sheet and flatten using the bottom of a glass or use a fork tines to create a criss-cross pattern. If desired, sprinkle a bit of chopped peanuts on top. Since they do not spread much, you can fit 16 on a standard sized sheet.
• Bake in the top third of a pre-heated oven for 5 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet and bake an additional 5-7 minutes, until the cookies have lightly browned on top. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 2 or 3 minutes. Place on cooling rack until fully cooled.
• These can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
• You can also freeze the raw dough and defrost in the fridge later.

Steps:

• For the Icebox Cake:
• Whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Reserve.
• Combine the butter, peanut butter and light brown sugar in another medium bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the flour mixture and blend until just combined. Shape the dough into a log: Place it onto a piece of plastic wrap about 18 inches long. Use your hands to pat the dough into a log about 7 inches long and 2 inches around. Roll the plastic wrap around the dough. Twist both ends of the wrap, like a candy, and tighten both sides until the dough log is compact and tightly wrapped (this might cause the dough to shrink down to a 6-inch log instead of a 7-inch log, but that is okay). Tuck the twisted ends under the dough and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.
• When ready to bake the cookies, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and arrange 2 racks in the middle of the oven. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Remove the plastic wrap from the dough and use a serrated knife to slice the dough into 1/8-inch thick rounds. Place the rounds about 1 inch apart on the baking sheets, about 12 cookies per baking sheet. Press a halved peanut in to the center of each cookie. If the dough is still very cold, it might crack slightly around the peanut. Simply use your finger to lightly push the dough back together.
• Bake the cookies until the edges are very lightly browned, 10-12 minutes. Halfway through cooking, rotate the baking sheets front to back and top to bottom.
• Cool the cookies slightly on the baking sheets for 5 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack and cool completely.
• Place the heavy cream and confectioner's sugar in to a large mixing bowl and use a hand mixer to whip until stiff peaks.
• Line a 1.5 quart loaf pan with plastic wrap. The plastic wrap should come up the sides of the loaf pan and have at least a 2-inch over-hang. On the bottom of the loaf pan, lay 5 cookies face-side-down in a single layer. The cookies should touch but not over-lap. Spread 1 cup of whipped cream evenly over the cookies. Continue this layering process 3 more times. Place the last 4 cookies on the whipped cream and top the cookies with any of the remaining whipped cream. Fold the plastic wrap over the top of the loaf pan so that the entire top layer is covered. Refrigerate overnight.
• For the Peanut Butter Glaze:
• Right before serving, whisk together the milk, confectioner's sugar, and peanut butter until smooth in a mixing bowl.
• To serve, flip the icebox cake out on to a platter and remove the plastic wrap. Drizzle the glaze all over the top of the icebox cake. Reserve extra peanut butter glaze to drizzle over individual slices. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Cut four 14 inch by 12 inch pieces of waxed paper and four sheets of aluminum foil the same size and set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, cream the shortening, sugars and peanut butter; beat in vanilla and eggs until light and fluffy.
• In a seperate bowl, combine the flour and baking soda; gradually beat flour into the creamed mixture until combined.
• Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and shape each into an 8 to 10 inch roll.
• Wrap each individually in wax paper and then in aluminum foil; label, date and freeze for up to 6 months.
• To prepare the cookies: Place the dough in refrigerator and thaw overnight. Slice the dough into 1 inch thick slices and cut each slice in fourths; form into a ball and if desired roll in cinnamon sugar.
• Place 1 1/2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets, flatten in a crisscross pattern with fork tines and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges.
• Remove from oven and allow to stand for a few minutes, move the cookies to cooling racks and allow to cool completely.

Steps:

• Set out four 12x14-inch long pieces of waxed paper or plastic wrap.
• Cream shortening, white sugar, brown sugar, and peanut butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Beat in vanilla extract and eggs until light and fluffy.
• Mix together flour and baking soda in a separate bowl until well combined. Gradually add flour mixture into the egg mixture, stirring until blended.
• Divide dough into 4 pieces and form each piece into an 8 to 10-inch roll. Wrap rolls in prepared waxed paper or plastic wrap and place in the freezer until ready to bake.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Remove dough from freezer and cut into 1-inch thick slices. Cut each slice into quarters and roll each piece into a ball. Place on the prepared baking sheet and use a fork to flatten with a nice crisscross design.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly brown around the edges, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on racks.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spread pecans out on a baking sheet.
• Bake pecans in the preheated oven until fragrant and lightly toasted, 5 to 10 minutes. Cool completely and chop in a food processor.
• Beat butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Add sugar and beat until light and fluffy; beat in egg yolk, vanilla extract, and salt. Slowly mix pecans into butter mixture. Stir flour into pecan mixture until dough begins to come together.
• Roll the dough into a ball and divide it in half. Roll each dough half into a 1 1/2-inch thick log. Wrap each log in wax paper and refrigerate, 4 hours to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Unwrap dough logs and cut into 1/3-inch thick slices. Transfer slices to the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden around the edges, 12 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick liners. In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugars until smooth and fluffy, at least 3 minutes. Add the peanut butter and eggs, and mix. Add the flour and salt and mix just until well combined, with no white flour showing.
• Using a small cookie scoop (about 2 teaspoons capacity), scoop dough onto prepared pans. The tops will be rounded but craggy. The cookies will not spread much or change shape when they bake, so they can be placed quite close together, but leave room for air circulation so they can brown.
• In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons sugar with 1 tablespoon salt. Sprinkle each cookie lightly with sugar-salt mixture, getting it into the crags and crannies. Bake 12 to 15 minutes, until cookies are set and golden-brown. Carefully lift or slide off baking sheets and cool on racks. Store in layers separated by parchment paper, in airtight containers.
