Marys Peanut Butter Cookies Recipes

MARY'S PEANUT BUTTER BLOSSOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in a small bowl.
• Beat shortening, peanut butter, 1/2 cup white sugar, and brown sugar together in a large bowl until creamy. Add egg, milk, and vanilla extract; mix until just blended. Slowly add the flour mixture until dough is combined.
• Roll dough into balls and roll into the remaining white sugar to coat. Place cookies on baking sheets and make a small indentation in the center of each using your thumb.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 9 to 11 minutes. Remove from oven and place a chocolate kiss in each indentation. Allow to cool slightly; remove from baking sheets and cool completely.

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.

CLASSIC PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
• Put butter and sugars into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in eggs, then peanut butter.
• Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in 3 batches, mixing until just combined after each addition. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate 30 minutes.
• Using a 1 1/2-inch ice cream scoop, drop dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spacing about 1 1/2 inches apart. Press cookies with fork tines to flatten and create a cross-hatch pattern. Bake until golden brown, 14 to 16 minutes. Let cool on sheets 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire racks to cool completely.

MARY'S PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES RECIPE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• 2. Combine margarine, peanut butter, sugars, egg and vanilla.
• 3. In a separate bowl sift together dry ingredients and add to wet mixture.
• 4. Form into small balls, roll in remaining sugar and flatten with a fork... creating a criss-cross design.
• 5. Bake 10-12 minutes until practically perfect.
• 6. Note: You can substitute butter for the margarine, but I actually prefer the reduced-fat margarine in this recipe. Also, be careful not to over-bake. These cookies are best when they're a little under-done.

NO BAKE CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, milk, sugar and cocoa and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil for 2 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla until uniform. Add the oats, flax seed and salt and stir well to combine.
• Immediately drop about 24 rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets and allow the cookies to cool and set for about 15 minutes. The cookies will keep in a sealed container at room temperature for 1 week. If you'd like a chewier cookie, store in the fridge.
