Peanut Butter Cookies

Irresistible Peanut Butter Cookies





adapted from Food.com [1]


Dessert | Yield: 36 cookies
Prep time: 15 min | Cook time: 8 min | Total time: 30 min

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 1/4 cups brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 1 egg
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda

Optional chocolate dip:

  • 1 1/2 tsp. butter
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Process

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Combine peanut butter, butter, brown sugar, milk, vanilla and egg in large bowl. Beat at medium speed of electric mixer until well-blended.
  3. Combine flour, salt and baking soda. Add to creamed mixture at low speed. Mix just until blended.
  4. Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased or parchment lined baking sheet. Take a fork and dip it in some vegetable oil, then dip into a bowl of sugar. Flatten a drop slightly in a crisscross pattern with the fork. Repeat with each drop, dipping the fork in the sugar again after each one.
  5. Bake at 375 degrees for 7 to 8 minutes, or until set and just beginning to brown. Cool 2 minutes on baking sheet before removing to cooling rack.
  6. Optional: After the cookies have cooled, melt chocolate chips and butter on the stove or in the microwave. Use a smallish pan/container, something that you can fit the cookie into, but that’s not too wide (or you won’t get enough chocolate on the cookies, aim for 1/4 to 1/2 submersion). Dip your cookies in one at a time and lay out on wax or parchment paper to cool and set, 30 minutes to an hour.

Note: I found that for this and other recipe I linked to, that cook time depends on when you plan on eating these. If you want to eat these straight from the oven, I recommend you add 2-3 more minutes or else they will be gooey to the point of being undercooked. Adding the time will make the outside darker and a bit crispier, but they will be more done in the middle. However, if you plan to serve either recipe at a party or event the next day, DO NOT overbake them, because once they sit overnight they will be set and will still be very soft and chewy, while the overcooked ones will be harder and crispier.
