Farmhouse Peanut Butter Cookies
Chocolate and Peanut butter lovers beware! It's an incredible combination of both. This recipe features granulated maple sugar. Makes about 3 dozen cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar plus more for dusting cookies
- 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated maple sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, sugars and peanut butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time and add the vanilla.
- Sift together the dry ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir to combine. Mix in the chocolate chips. Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place on baking sheets, leaving enough room for them to spread a little.
- Place granulated sugar in a small bowl. Dip a fork in the sugar and press the fork into the cookies, making a crisscross pattern. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Remove cookies from the oven and cool on a baking rack.
