Introduction:
Hello everyone! I teach you how to make delicious home-cooked dishes for your friends and family. Today, we are making peanut butter cookies. These cookies are simple, irresistible, and perfect for any occasion. Let's get started!
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
180 grams (about 1 and 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt (or kosher salt)
Wet Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk to combine and set aside.
Cream the Butter and Peanut Butter:
In a large mixing bowl, add the room temperature butter and peanut butter. Mix until combined and smooth.
Add the Sugars:
Add the packed light brown sugar and granulated sugar to the peanut butter mixture. Mix until light and fluffy.
Incorporate the Egg and Vanilla:
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture. Mix until well combined.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Form the Cookies:
Using a cookie scoop or two tablespoons, portion out the dough into balls, each about 40 grams. Roll them into smooth balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Create the Classic Crosshatch Pattern:
Using a fork, press down on each dough ball to create a crosshatch pattern. If desired, you can use skewers to create a more uniform pattern, as shown in the video.
Bake the Cookies:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for 9-10 minutes. They should remain light in color but will firm up as they cool.
Conclusion:
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Enjoy the delightful peanut butter flavor and perfect texture!
Tips and Variations
Customize Your Cookies: Add chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or even a sprinkle of sea salt on top for extra flavor.
Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. They also freeze well if you want to enjoy them later.
Peanut Butter Alternatives: For a twist, try using almond butter or cashew butter.
These peanut butter cookies are perfect for any peanut butter lover. They're soft, chewy, and packed with peanut butter flavor. Whether you're making them for yourself, your family, or a special someone, these cookies are sure to be a hit.
