Super large peanut butter cookies

Uncategorized Leave a comment

A second treat for work today.  6 super large peanut butter cookies with peanut butter chips.  It is a winner take all game 5 of the ALDs, after all, so perhaps one treat is not enough

I am so pleased with how they turned out.  They were a last minute call, so I used browned butter instead of waiting for butter to soften.  I also used 1 cup of all purpose flour and 1 cup bread flour.   You can use all AP flour if you want.

I did not chill the dough  and yet they turned out really puffy!   I also pressed peanut butter chips into the tops of hot cookies.  You can mix them into the dough ahead of time if you want.

  • Ingredients list
  • 1/2 cup butter, browned
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 3 tbs heavy cream
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup bread flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter chips

Directions – place butter in saucepan, cooking over medium heat until brown specs appear, between 7 to 10 minutes. Pour into a bowl and mix with peanut butter, sugar and brown sugar.  Add vanilla, egg and heavy cream.   Blend in dry ingredients divide evenly into 6 pieces and roll into balls.  If you don’t want mound shape cookies, slighly flatten.  Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and stagger cookies on it. Bake 12 to 14 minutes, no longer.  Gently press peanut butter chips on tops of hot cookies. 

Cool completely.   Store in covered container.

Triple peanut butter cookies

For opening day of the MLB playoffs, these humongous peanut butter cookies are one of the two I am bringing in.  I added some finely ground honey roasted peanuts and pressed peanut butter chips in the tops of cookies immediately after they came out of the oven.  The reason?  I forgot to put them in the dough before baking. 🙂

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour containers into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.  Pouring flour directly into the cups packs it in and you wind up with dry cookies.   i used all purpose flour and bread flour, but you can use entirely all purpose flour if you want. 

Also, preheat your oven before baking.  Do not bake these longer than 10 or 11 minutes

  • Ingredients list
  • 10 tbs butter, softened
  • 8 tbs peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed into a measuring cup

  • 1 cup bread flour
  • 1 tbs cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup peanut, finely ground
  • 1 cup Peanut butter chips

Directions – in a bowl, cream butter peanut butter.  Blend in brown sugar and sugar.  Add eggs, vanilla and heavy cream.  Mix in dry ingredients.  Fold in peanuts and peanut butter chips.  Evenly divide into 8 equal pieces and roll into balls. You can chill the doughs if you want or you can bake right away.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and stagger doughs on sheet.  Bake 10 to 11 minutes, no longer.   Edges will be golden.  Remove from oven.  Gently press peanut butter chips into tops of cookies, if you want.   cool completely. Store in covered container.
