Old Fashioned Peanut Butter Cookies
These old fashioned peanut butter cookies are soft and chewy with a hint of peanut crunch. Just like Grandma used to make!
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 ½ cups flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup roasted salted peanuts finely ground
Instructions
- Set aside a small plate with granulated sugar (about 3 tablespoons.)
- In a large bowl, mix butter, sugar and brown sugar with an electric mixer until consistency is fluffy.
- Mix in eggs and vanilla until thoroughly combined.
- Using a spatula, mix in peanut butter, then add flour, baking soda, and baking powder, stirring by hand.
- Fold in ground peanuts.
- Chill dough for one hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Using a cookie scooper or tablespoon, roll cookies into evenly sized balls roughly 2-inches in diameter, then roll the balls in granulated sugar.
- Place on a non-stick cookie sheet or a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Using the back of a fork, press down on the cookie to flatten it and make a criss cross design.
- Bake 10-12 minutes or until edges begin to turn a light golden brown.
Notes
Be careful not to over bake or the cookies will be crunchy rather than soft and chewy.
