These peanut butter cookies are another yummy way of satisfying your peanut butter cravings. Have them with a cup of evening coffee or tea and enjoy!
Here is the complete recipe:
- 24 cookies
- 30 minutes
- 14-15 minutes
Ingredients
- 80 grams or 1/3 cup Unsalted Butter
- 125 grams or 1/2 cup Unsweetened Peanut Butter
- 200 grams or 1 cup Castor Sugar
- 165 grams or 1¼ cup All Purpose Flour
- ½ teaspoon Baking Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Baking Soda
- A pinch of salt
- 1 cup Chocolate Chips (Optional)
Directions
- In a bowl, beat together sugar, butter and peanut butter with an electric beater until the mixture is fluffy and slightly pale in colour. You can also whisk the ingredients if you do not have an electric beater.
- In another bowl, sift all purpose flour, baking powder and baking soda and mix properly.
- Now add the butter and sugar mixture to the flour mix followed by chocolate chips.
- Mix properly and form a rough dough. Refrigerate the dough for minimum 15-20 minutes.
- Once the cookie dough is chilled, take about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough and roll it in your palms and place it on very lightly greased cookie sheet.
- Roll rest of the dough in the same way. Keep some distance between the cookies as they will rise as they bake.
- After rolling the cookies, press them down with a fork, first vertically and then horizontally for a designed texture. If you want, you can also skip this step.
- Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 180°C for 14-15 minutes. If you like slightly crisper cookies, bake them for another 2 minutes.
- Once out of the oven, let the cookies cool down for 5-7 minutes.
Notes:
- Instead of completely using castor sugar, you can also use brown sugar in 1:1 ratio.
- If you are using sweetened peanut butter then reduce the sugar content to 175 grams.
- Skip adding salt if you are using salted butter.
