Massive peanut butter cookies

The other day I made huge chocolate chip cookies, so today I decided to made some pretty big peanut butter cookies. 

These use a combo of bread and all purpose flour, but you can use just all purpose flour if you want.

Remember to scoop flour from your flour bag into your measuring cups so you get the right amount.

  • 1 /2 cup butter, browned
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed into measuring cup
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 to 4 tbs heavy cream
  • 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup bread flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup peanuts, finely ground
  • Extra sugar

Directions – preheat oven to 375 degrees.  line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.   In a bowl, combine butter, peanut butter, sugar and brown sugar.  Add egg, vanilla and 2 tbs heavy cream.  Mix in dry ingredients.  if dough seems a little dry, add more heavy cream.   Divide dough into 3 equal pieces, then divide each of those pieces in half.  Roll into balls, then  each  in extra sugar.  Stagger cookies on sheet.  Bake 14 to 15 minutes, no longer.  Cool completely.   Store in covered container.

Today’s cookies are somewhere between the size of a baseball and softball.  Felt appropriate give, the Bills introduced new coach Joe Brady and it is Sabres game night.

A listener sent me a link fir the recipe from AK pizza in Seattle.  I changed it to cups and tsp in measurements and for baking in a conventional oven.  Really pleased with how these came out.   I brought an actual sharp knife into work so people can cut them up.

Scoop your flours from their containers into measuring cups so you get the right amount,  firmly packed brown sugar into measuring cups and chill dough a few days before baking.

Celebrating the NHL and NBA postseasons with a classic!

When it comes to the playoffs, bigger is better.  That is my thought process with these cookies.  They are beyond large – 6 inches in diameter when baked.  I made 6 or 7 of these and plan on cutting them into quarters after they cool.  I also will be storing them in the fridge for a few hours to help them firm up a bit.

This is what happens when a certain someone does not let the cookie cool!

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.  Chill the individual mounds of dough a few hours or overnight.  Preheat oven to 20 minutes before baking so it cycles to the right temp. 

  • Ingredients list
  • 1 cup butter, cold and cubed into tiny squares
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 3/4 cups flour (scooped from your flour bag into your measuring cup)
  • 2 tbs cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 cups chocolate chips
  • 1 extra cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips.

Directions – in a bowl, cream butter, sugar and brown sugar.  Add eggs and vanilla. Blend in dry ingredients.  Fold in 2 cups chips.  Divide dough evenly into 7 pieces.  In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup remaining chocolate chips and mini chips.  Roll tops and sides  of cookie doughs into chips mixture. 

This is how the doughs look after dipped in the chocolate chip mixture

Chill a few hours.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.   Place cookies on sheet, leaving plenty of room bc these spread.  Bake 20 minutes, no longer.  Cool completley.  Store in a covered container in the fridge to firm up cookies.
