ISO: ISO: Simple Peanut Butter Cookie, Have Searched T & T Nothing There, Any Suggestions Folks :)

In Search Of:
Here's a winner from Michael & CI: "Big, Super-nutty Peanut Butter Cookies.

One of the recommendations is to use "blister" peanuts. I had to mail-order them as Florida hasn't been deigned sophisticated enough yet to support a Trader Joes. If you're lucky to have one near by, TJs carries them on a regular basis.

These cookies/nuts are worth every calorie.

PS: I've linked the peanut farm where I ordered my blister peanuts.

A little chocolate wouldn't hurt. smileys/smile.gif Here's a great one: Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies

(The dough was a little crumbly, but that could be because I added an extra 1/4 cup peanut butter. I dropped the first batch by rounded tsp and the second batch by very rounded Tbsp - I preferred the rounded Tbsp - they were thicker and moister.

The last time I made these, I used less granulated sugar (7 Tbsp) and more brown sugar (1/2 cup plus 1 Tbsp).

*(Note: If using unsalted peanut butter, add about 1/4 tsp salt).

PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
3/4 cup chunky peanut butter (I used 1 cup creamy, lightly salted natural peanut butter)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar, firmly packed
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
6 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chips OR bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chunks (I used Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate chips)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Line baking sheets with parchment.
2. Cream the butter and peanut butter together until fully incorporated.
3. Add the sugars and cream on medium speed.
4. Add the egg and vanilla and mix until completely incorporated.
5. Add the flour and baking soda; mix until no white remains, then add the chocolate and mix on low just until everything comes together.
6. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto parchment-lined baking sheets. (I preferred using rounded Tbsp, and pressed the cookies slightly to flatten).
7. Bake 9 minutes or until golden brown. (I did one sheet at a time. For the rounded Tbsp, I baked about 12 minutes - for the rounded tsp, about 10 minutes. I let the cookies sit a minute or so before removing to a wire rack).

Make these PB filled ones! REC: Peanut Butter Filled Peanut Butter Cookies

They're a regular recipe (can be used as drop or icebox).

But if you make it as an icebox cookie, put a dab of PB between two thin slices of dough, then bake. Everyone will wonder how you got the peanut butter in the middle smileys/smile.gif

Peanut Butter Filled Peanut Butter Cookies
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup peanut butter (1/2 an 18oz jar)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla

Extra peanut butter, for filling cookies (about 3/4 cup or so)

Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt together into a medium bowl, set aside.

Cream butter and both sugars. Add peanut butter and blend. Add eggs and vanilla, mix until well blended.

Add sifted dry ingredients, and stir just until flour is incorporated.

Divide dough into thirds, and roll each portion in waxed paper, forming a log about 2” in diameter. Refrigerate until firm (at least 2 hours or overnight).

Place extra peanut butter into a ziploc bag, and cut off a very small corner.

Slice rolls into thin slices, and place on cookie sheet, about 2” apart. Squeeze a small amount of peanut butter onto each slice, then top with another slice of dough. Set aside for a couple of minutes, until the dough softens a bit.

Make criss crosses on each cookie with a fork dipped in sugar.

Bake at 350º for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown all over.

You can also make the cookies without the peanut butter filling – just make the slices thicker.

Or you can also use the dough to make drop cookies without the filling.

 
It's actually on the menu for Thanksgiving. We will travel to San Diego...

...and prepare a batch for the oh-so-willing PB fans in that faire city.

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Line 2 baking sheets with parchment or silpats.

It seems to me that this should be in T&T. Is there a third person out there who loves this recipe?
