Marshas Peanut Butter Cookies Recipes

PEANUT BUTTER CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone mat, and set aside.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cornflour, and salt. Set aside.
• In a separate large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugars until combined.
• Add the egg, vanilla, and peanut butter, and mix until combined.
• Add the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined. Fold in the peanut butter chips.
• TIP: If you find the cookie dough too crumbly, add milk (1 tablespoon at a time) and mix until it comes together and is easier to manage.
• Roll the dough into 2-oz balls (or use a medium cookie scoop), and place onto the prepared baking tray. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes.
• Allow to cool on the baking tray for 5 - 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

HOMEMADE PEANUT BUTTER SANDWICH COOKIES

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk together baking soda, salt, and 2 cups flour; set aside. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter, brown sugar, and 1 cup peanut butter until light and fluffy; beat in egg. With mixer on low, gradually add flour mixture, beating just until combined (do not overmix).
• Form dough into two 8-inch-long rectangular logs. Wrap each log in waxed or parchment paper; freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. With a sharp knife, slice dough 1/4 inch thick; place on two baking sheets, 1 inch apart. Bake until cookies are puffed, 12 to 15 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Transfer to wire racks; let cool.
• Make filling: In a saucepan, whisk milk and 2 tablespoons flour over medium until thickened, 2 minutes; let cool. In a bowl, using mixer, beat together 1/2 cup peanut butter and granulated sugar; beat in cooled milk mixture. Spread smooth sides of half the cookies with 1 tablespoon filling; sandwich with remaining cookies.

PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line several baking sheets with parchment paper, and set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter, peanut butter, and both sugars together until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla, and mix on medium speed until well combined.
• In a medium mixing bowl, sift flour and baking soda together. Add to the butter mixture, and beat just to combine.
• Scoop out 2 tablespoons of dough, shape into a ball, and place on one of the prepared baking sheets. Repeat with remaining dough, placing scoops 3 inches apart. Dip the tines of a fork in warm water; press the dough balls lightly with the back of the fork to flatten them slightly (dip the fork back in the water for each dough ball, to prevent sticking). Sprinkle with a few peanuts, if desired.
• Transfer to the oven, and bake until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes, rotating the baking sheets between the oven shelves halfway through baking. Transfer baking sheets to a wire rack to cool. Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.
