The Only Cookie Recipe for True Peanut Butter Lovers: Rich, Sweet, and Absolutely Irresistible
If you’ve always wanted to give a try to peanut butter desserts, this one might become your new obsession.
Peanut butter has been long one of the legendary sweet treats in the US, later taking its fame further to other continents. Now that peanut butter cookies are all over the place, it’s hard to find the one that will actually steal your heart; the good news is that it might be the cookie you’ll make yourself at home.
All it takes is the simplest ingredients and about 3 hours in the fridge for the dough, while you won’t spend more than 10 minutes baking the best peanut butter cookies you’ve ever tried.
Here’s what you need: 100 g of peanut butter, 300 g of flour, 100 g of butter, 100-150 g of sugar, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, a pinch of vanilla extract, a pinch of salt.
Using a mixer, combine the peanut butter, regular butter, and sugar in a deep bowl. Then add the egg and vanilla extract and mix again until it's creamy.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, salt, and baking powder. Add the dry ingredients to the liquid mixture and form a shortbread dough.
Refrigerate the dough for 2-3 hours.
Form cookies from the cooled dough. Bake for 10 minutes at 190°C.
