Nickeys Peanut Butter Cookie Recipes

SUPER-EASY PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Mix all ingredients with large spoon until well blended.
• Roll into 24 balls; place, 4 inches apart, on baking sheets. Flatten with fork.
• Bake 20 min. or until lightly browned. (Do not overbake.)
• Cool 5 min. on baking sheets; transfer to wire racks. 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.

NICKEY'S ICEBOX BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and cinnamon. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, cream butter and both sugars.
• Beat in egg and extracts.
• Add dry ingredients; mix well.
• Fold in nuts and shredded coconut. [Nuts - do not mince but if not chopped small enough may cause dough not to hold together completely.].
• Shape dough into four short rolls or 2 longer rolls -- about 3 inches across. Dough will be crumbly looking, not to worry, it will all come together when you form the rolls.
• Roll in colored sugar, wrap in wax paper, then chill overnight (at least 4 hours).
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Slice dough in 1/4 inch thick pieces (thickness of slices will affect how many cookies you get.) As soon as you put the first roll in the oven, take out the next roll and slice it (gives it time to come closer to room temperature and bake faster.).
• Bake in 350 degrees F (preheated) oven for about 10-12 minutes. The first batch will take 5-10 minutes longer straight from the refrigerator.
• NOTE: If you forget to roll in sugar before freezing, it can also be done just before cutting or even after baking (sprinkle it on top of the cookies.) I've even topped these with candy sprinkles -- colorful :).
