Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies
Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter *softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups smooth peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- *sugar for rolling*
Procedure:
Step 1)
In a large mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until all are evenly combined. Set aside.
Step 2)
In another, medium sized bowl cream the *room temperature* butter and sugar for 2-5 mins until it appears fluffy and whipped.
I recommend using an electric mixer. But, by hand works just as well.
Add the vanilla and eggs -one at a time and precede to mix them on medium with an electric mixer or by hand.
Step 3)
Combine the dry flour mixture and the butter mixture by folding the dry into the wet with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Mix the two until a thick cookie dough texture forms without any visible flour un-mixed.
Step 4)
Use a medium cookie scoop, a tablespoon, or regular spoon to make balls about a tablespoon in size. Roll the balls in your hands and then, roll in granulated sugar. place on a parchment or silicon lined cookie sheet. Freeze for 15 mins.
Step 5)
Preheat the oven to 350 Degrees F (177 C).
With a fork press down to imprint the cookies. Press in one direction, then in the opposite to form a hashtag (#) imprint.
Bake the cookies for 10-12 mins. They will be soft once done, but they will firm up upon cooling.
Enjoy!
Happy Baking!
