Growing up, Sundays were always the day that we made yummy treats. It was usually no-bake cookies or some kind of cake. I'm finding that it's turning into my favorite time to bake; everyone is home, together and relaxed. It's comfort food. Especially when it's made with peanut butter.
I have a peanut butter & whipped honey sandwich every single day (I make them on these which we all love.) I almost always have it for breakfast, mostly because I am not a big breakfast fan and secondly, I'm not super crazy for breakfast food (unless I am eating at the Griddle Cafe- that's a whole other story.) The kids have a sandwich for lunch nearly everyday, too. With all this PB consumption, I don't know why I didn't think about making PB cookies sooner. I haven't made PB cookies in at least 10 years, probably more. Henry's head nearly exploded at the near mention of it. Oh the possibilities!!
Our favorite PB is this one and we got hooked on this whipped clover honey on a trip to Utah last Fall. It's really good and I'm not going to admit how many tubs we've gone through. It's embarrassing.
I digress. Back to the cookies. Do you roll yours in sugar? For some reason I did. It seemed like that's what we always did (I could be wrong here) even though none of the recipes call for it.
I don't know who started imprinting PB cookies with the back of a fork- but it stuck (LOL!) The cookies were good. Real good, Clark. They were delicate without being so dry that they were crumbly. These weren't dry at all, actually.
Here's the recipe:
Peanut Butter Cookies
1 Cup unsalted butter
1 1/2 C peanut butter
1 C white sugar
1 C packed brown sugar
2 eggs
3 C all=purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
Directions:
Set oven to 375 degrees.
Cream together butter, peanut butter and sugars. Mix in the eggs.
In a separate bowl, sift together remaining ingredients. Stir/mix into batter. Refrigerate 45 minutes. Roll into 1" balls, roll in sugar & place on baking sheet. Flatten each cookie with a fork. Bake in oven for 10 minutes.
Enjoy!
