Sugar coated Peanut butter cookies

Uncategorized Leave a comment

Since I made  fudge brownie cookies, I felt these sugar crusted peanut butter cookies would be a perfect companion.  Because peanut butter and chocolate are a perfect combo..  just ask the folks at Reese’s!

These are a typical peanut butter cookie, except i added finely ground peanuts, which i did in my food processor

and rolled the cookies in sugar before baking.

  • Ingredients list
  • 1/2 cup butter, partially melted (I put a cold stick in microwave in 2, 30 second increments
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed into measuring cup
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbs vanilla
  • 1 3/4 cups flour (scooped from flour bag into measuring cup)
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup peanuts,  finely ground

Directions – in a bowl, mix peanut butter, butter, sugar and brown sugar.  Add egg and vanilla.  Blend in dry ingredients.   Stir in ground peanuts.  Scoop out 1/4 cups dough.  Roll tops in sugar.  Chill a few hours.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or nonstick baking liners.  stagger cookies on sheet.

Bake 14 to 16 minutes.  Cool completely.   Store in covered container.

I thought treats were in order today – for our hard working MLB crew who worked that 18 inning world series game last night and is right back at it for game 4 tonight, plus, the Frozen frenzy on ESPN with all teams playing.  In addition to the fall classic, i will be focused  in on the Sabres game!

This dough does not need chilling.  Cookies stay puffy,  as you can see.
