How to Make Peanut Butter Cookies - Easy Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe Soft and Chewy
Hello and welcome back to In the Kitchen with Matt, I am your host Matt Taylor.
Today I am going to show you how to make peanut butter cookies, mmm, yummy.
This homemade peanut butter cookie is really is to do, if I can do it, you can do it, let's
get baking.
All right first we are going to preheat our oven to 375 degrees.
We have one cup or peanut butter, and what we are going to do is take our butter, we
have one half cup of softened butter, one half cup of light brown sugar, one half cup
of white granulated sugar, and with a hand mixer or stand mixer, let�s go ahead and
cream this all together.
Okay once we are done let�s go ahead and scrape the sides.
Okay, now we have 3 tablespoons of milk, let�s add that, start the, cream it together, scrape
the sides, one egg, cream that in together, 1 tsp. of vanilla extract.
And then let's scrape the sides one more time, and then we take 1 and ? cups of all purpose
flour, add one tsp. of baking powder, 1 fourth tsp. of salt.
And then with a fork or a whisk or you can sift it together; let's mix this all together.
All right, come back to our peanut butter, and then we are going to add this, about a
third of a time, add the flour to the peanut butter mixture.
Let's turn on the mixer, scrape the sides, add another third of the flour, okay, and
then let's add the rest of the flour, and scrape the sides one more time.
Okay once we are done mixing, let's go ahead and clean the beaters.
As a kid, my favorite part of cookie making was actually licking off the beaters, some
how my mom always would clean off a ton, to where, like that, to where I would barely
have any to lick off.
And now our dough is ready to go.
All right, now it is time to roll out our cookies.
So what you do, I just take a table spoon, you can use whatever method you want, this
just helps to get the same amount of cookie, and just get some dough here, and then I am
going to roll it into a ball like that, and then you place it on a cookie sheet, and then
what you are going to do is you are going to take a fork, and you are going to push
it down like that.
And you can leave it like that shape, or you can come in to this other side and go like
that, all right, now, optionally what you can do also, what I like to do, if you want
extra sweet cookies, go ahead and take your dough and roll it into sugar, all around like
that, pretty cool, go ahead and do the same thing.
And if the edges start to split a little bit, that is totally fine, you can just come in
here and push them back together, if you want a nice perfectly formed cookie, pretty cool,
and now I am going to finish rolling those out.
Now I am using a silicone-baking mat, this is an artisan mat brand, it is not necessary,
you can use parchment paper if you like, I really like these artisan mats, it really
helps the cookie to not burn on the bottom, and you can re-wash it, they last a long time,
I will put a link down below if you want to pick one up, this batch is ready to go.
So what we do is bake these in the oven, 375 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the
edges get slightly brown, on to that step.
All right after they come out of the oven, just let them set on the cookie sheet for
about 5 minutes then transfer them over to a wire rack to cool completely.
These turned out beautifully.
All right our homemade peanut butter cookies are done, they smell amazing, they are really
easy to do, if I can do it, you can do it.
