Felicia and I had so much fun doing recipes from our Cookbook of the Month last month!! We hope that you were inspired to pick up a favorite cookbook and make a new recipe too! This month we chose Southern Living Comfort Foods!! My mouth starts watering just looking at the cover :)
For my first recipe I chose OldFashioned Peanut Butter Cookies! I always forget how much I really love them, until I can't stop eating them!! These are amazing and you get a lot of dough out of the recipe. I ended up being too impatient and I made drop cookies before seperating and putting the rest in the fridge. I plan to only make a few at a times so I don't eat to many at once! I also want to try making Nutter Butters with them...mmm I can't wait to try those and I'll definitely share.
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp vanilla
Cream the butter and peanut butter together then add both sugars and continue until combined. Mix in the eggs. In a small bowl combine the flour, baking soda and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in small increments, mixing thoroughly between. Add the vanilla and mix until everything is well mixed.
For immediate cookies, preheat the oven to 375° and drop scoop fulls onto parchment paper. Roll the balls in sugar and use a fork to press the centers down - making the traditional criss cross pattern. Bake for 7-9 minutes. The cookies are done when the edges are just turning golden - this will give you crunchy outsides with soft insides!
For cookies later, refrigerate the dough by wrapping it in plastic. When you're ready to make them, simply follow the steps above. You will just need to roll the dough into balls instead of using a cookie scoop.
Ta-Da delicious peanut butter cookies in less than 20 minutes!
Have a great day!
