Honey Roasted Peanut Butter Cookies
These Honey Roasted Peanut Butter Cookies have a thin, crackly exterior that gives way to a soft, chewy center.
Ingredients
- ½ c. Peter Pan® Simply Ground Honey Roast Peanut Butter
- 4 T. unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1 c. packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 1.5 c. sifted all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- ¼ tsp. kosher salt
- ½ c. sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Line baking pans with parchment paper and set aside.
- With an electric mixer, cream peanut butter and butter in a mixing bowl until smooth. Add brown sugar and beat until combined, scraping down bowl as needed. Add eggs and vanilla, and beat until incorporated.
- In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. With mixer on low speed, gradually beat in flour mixture.
- Roll spoonfuls of dough, a scant tablespoon in size each, between the palms of your hands. Then roll dough balls in a small bowl of sugar to coat completely. Place dough balls on prepared baking sheet, about 2" apart.
- Bake for approximately 11 minutes, or until cookies are slightly puffed and just start to crackle on top. To achieve a moist, chewy center, do not over bake. Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring cookies to rack to cool completely.
