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.

PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Combine butter, peanut butter, and brown sugar and ¼ cup granulated sugar in a large bowl (or in the bowl of a stand mixer) and use an electric mixer to beat until creamy and well combined.
• Add egg and vanilla extract and stir until well-combined.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
• Gradually stir the flour mixture into the peanut butter mixture. Make sure to pause periodically to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure all ingredients are well-combined.
• Cover mixing bowl with plastic wrap and place peanut butter cookie dough in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes to one hour (start with 30 minutes, if the dough is too sticky or your cookies are coming out of the oven too flat, chill for an additional half an hour. This dough may be chilled overnight if you'd like).
• Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Once dough has chilled, remove from refrigerator and scoop into heaping 1 ½ Tablespoon-sized balls.
• Roll the cookie dough between your palms until smooth and then roll thoroughly in additional granulated sugar. Place on prepared cookie sheet, spacing cookies at least 2" apart.
• Use the tines of a fork to gently make a criss-cross pattern on the surface of each cookie by slightly pressing down.
• Bake on 350F (175C) for 9-12 minutes. Edges should be just turning golden brown but the cookie centers should appear slightly under-baked, allow cookies to cool completely on the cookie sheets and the centers will finish baking (but remain soft and chewy) as they cool on the cookie sheet. Don't over-bake or the cookies will be dry.
• Allow peanut butter cookies to cool completely on baking sheet before enjoying.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
• In a large bowl with a handheld electric mixer or in the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter and peanut butter until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar and mix until combined. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until creamy.
• Add the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
• Scoop the dough and roll into 1- or 2-inch balls. Place on parchment- or silpat-lined (or lightly greased) large, rimmed baking sheets, placing them a couple inches apart.
• Bake for 10-11 minutes until puffed. Don't overbake.
• Remove from the oven and immediately press each cookie to flatten slightly with the bottom of a flat drinking glass. Don't flatten the cookies to smithereens, just press the puffed part down until the cookies are an even thickness.
• Scoop onto a cooling rack to cool completely. These cookies freeze great (and actually taste amazing straight from the freezer).

Steps:

• With a hand mixer, cream together the peanut butter, butter, white sugar and brown sugar until blended.
• Beat in the egg, milk, and vanilla.
• Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl.
• Add flour mixture to the peanut butter mixture and mix together. Stir in chocolate chips at this point if desired.
• Scoop tablespoonfuls of dough and roll into balls.
• Place cookies 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets (I used parchment paper since my cookies tend to burn on my darker pans). Press each ball once with a fork.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes at 375. Don't overcook! These cookies are much better soft and just barely cooked all the way through! Enjoy!

BEST SUPER SOFT PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and very lightly grease a baking sheet or line with a baking mat.
• In a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
• In a large bowl cream together butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy. Mix in egg and vanilla until blended.
• Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until combined (do not over mix). Roll dough into balls (two regular size cookie scoops or about 3 tablespoons, the balls should be fairly big - this is the key to a super soft texture!)
• Roll cookie dough balls in remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, then place on baking sheet 2-3 inches apart. Use a fork to gently press a criss-cross pattern into each cookie dough ball, only pressing ball down about half way.
• Bake for 8-9 minutes - DO NOT OVER BAKE. The cookies should just begin to crack on top. Allow to cool 1-2 minutes on baking sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack. Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 5 days (they are softest on day 1 and 2!).
