Make Ahead Peanut Butter Cookies Recipes

PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375º.
• Mix first six ingredients.
• Add the rest of the ingredients.
• Mix well.
• Roll into balls and press down with a fork dipped in sugar or flour.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes on ungreased cookie sheet (I usually grease my cookie sheet anyway). Ovens vary so your baking time may be less. Just keep an eye on them.

MAKE-AHEAD BREAKFAST GRANOLA COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Mix the peanut butter, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and eggs in a large bowl with a handheld mixer until smooth. Add the oats, cranberries and pepitas and mix until just combined. Use a 1/4-cup dry measuring cup or 1/4-cup ice cream scoop to scoop the dough onto the baking sheets, leaving at least 1 inch between scoops, making about 9 per tray. Flatten the scoops slightly with the back of a spoon. Bake until the cookies are starting to brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Let them sit on the baking sheets for a couple of minutes to let them set up a little bit. Serve warm, or let cool completely, then store in an airtight container for up to a week. Also great for freezing and eating straight out of the freezer! Serve with Greek yogurt for slathering or dipping, if using.

CLASSIC PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

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.

MAKE AHEAD PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

EASY GRILLED PEANUT CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a medium bowl whisk together the peanut butter, lime juice, soy sauce, garlic, curry powder, and chili paste.
• Brush half of the mixture onto one side of the chicken breasts.
• Preheat the grill to medium heat. Coat the grill grates with nonstick spray or brush with olive oil. Place the chicken onto the grill and brush with the remaining peanut mixture. Cook for 4 minutes on each side, or until the chicken reaches 165°F.
• Garnish with cilantro and chopped peanuts if desired and serve immediately.

SOFT AND CHEWY PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Position two racks in the upper and lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and spray the parchment with cooking spray.
• Add the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cream the mixture on high speed until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally, about 5 minutes.
• Add the eggs one at a time and mix on medium-low to combine before adding the next. Add the vanilla and mix again until combined.
• Add the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder and mix on low until the mixture is just combined, scraping down the bowl occasionally, about 1 minute. Be careful not to overmix.
• Using a large cookie scoop, place mounds of dough on the prepared baking sheets at least 2 inches apart.
• Sprinkle the cookie dough mounds with granulated sugar. Chill the baking sheets in the freezer until very firm, about 20 minutes.
• Bake the chilled cookies until they begin to set on the edges, 12 to 14 minutes. Be careful not to overbake.
• Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets before moving to a rack to finish cooling.
