The Ultimate Peanut Butter Cookie #OXOGoodCookies

September 6, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 9 Comments

Hi Everyone,

It’s that time of year again where I team up with #OXO to bake cookies that make a difference. These cookies are to promote the Cookies for Kids with Cancer. It’s a program that was formed by the employees of OXO that was inspired by an employee that had a 2-year-old son that was battling cancer. The make a difference campaign was formed to host bake sales that proceeds were matched by OXO for up to $100,000. Now starting in September buy any marked OXO baking tool and 25 cents will be donated towards Cookies for Kid’s Cancer. Look for the specially stickered items at participating retailers.
#OXOGoodCookies
For this special occasion I whipped together, what I call the Ultimate Peanut Butter Cookie. These cookies are perfect in my mind. They have crisp edges with a soft peanut butter middle. I spent a long time trying to create the perfect peanut butter cookie and most have come out great, but these my friends are my all time favorite.
The Ultimate Peanut Butter Cookies #OXOGoodCookies
So whats the difference in these cookies that makes them so great? Two secrets, one is adding maple syrup to the dough. The maple syrup brings out the peanut butter flavor and you don’t taste the maple syrup. You only need a tablespoon of it. The second secret is using shortening. Honestly, I have never baked cookies with shortening, but I had to give it a shot. I also calculated the calories and nutritional stats with using shortening versus all butter, the calories are only off by 2, so it’s a wash. I normally don’t believe in shortening in cookies, but because of how they bake and the texture of the cookie, I think shortening is needed. However, you can make this will all butter if desired. The cookies will still turn out great, but they make bake a little differently.

Another key thing to the cookies is baking time. I found 8 minutes makes crisp edges with a soft center. Basically the bottom of the cookie will be very light in color. Now if you’re a crispy cookie lover, bake the cookies for 9 minutes. The whole cookie with become crisp. I love both! I tend to lean towards a crispy cookie.

One last thing about the cookies is that you need to chill the dough. I made them at night and baked them in the morning. In between each batch of cookies, you need to keep the dough refrigerated. Otherwise you have to soft of dough. The cookies spread out when baking them, so be sure to fit about 9 cookies per baking sheet. The recipe makes 72 cookies! Let me repeat that, 72 heavenly peanut butter cookies!

Yum, yum, yum! All you need is a big glass of milk to go with these cookies. Oh and you know what? They freeze nicely too. So if you have too many and you can’t eat them all, which maybe impossible, freeze them. That’s actually what I did with this batch of cookies. 72 is a lot!!

    I love how low the points plus are per cookie. I like peanut butter cookies, but I not to the point where I’d want to inhale one right after the other, which makes these pretty safe in my house. I would still freeze half of them though since they are great when you’re digging through you’re freezer and you find a nice surprise!

      Hi Samantha! Thanks, I was surprised to see how low the cookies turned out, which makes them guilt-free in my book, as long as you don’t eat a dozen. lol They are the perfect cookie to freeze. Matter in fact I like to eat them straight from the freezer.

Happy Wednesday! This past weekend I did a little Happy Wednesday! This past weekend I did a little furniture rearranging in my dining room. I decided to move my kitchen cart to the opposite side of my room, and I love it in its new spot. 
🍂
If you remember, I fixed the nail holes in this wall, so I could hang a normal picture. I love how centered my nail is. lol It’s the little things.
🍂
Now before anyone says anything. I covered my light switch with my picture. I never use it, so it doesn’t effect me. 
🍂
Speaking of pictures, how gorgeous is my sign from @krumpetshomedecor? It’s a fabulous size and I am calling it the moving sign. If you watched my reel last week, you will see that I used the spider side of the sign in my kitchen. I thought the fall side would be perfect in my dining room. Now I actually plan to move the sign again to my living room when I bring out the Fall bins. I have an idea in my head.
🍂
This little area of my home is what I am calling my transition from summer to fall. I have a little bit of rich end of summer colors with natural woods and my leaves. 
🍂
The falling leaves reversible sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link in my bio.
🍂
What is your favorite Fall color?
.
PS. I think I got the big C 🦠. So I’ll be slow getting back to you.

Hello Everyone! I have to apologize for not to get Hello Everyone! I have to apologize for not to getting to everyone’s comments yesterday. I am still working on them. I was a little overwhelmed yesterday. Typical Monday. Plus to boot my husband got the big “C”🦠 So I have been dealing with that.

I thought I would share with you a very simple way of styling a bowl. It would be beautiful on an entry, console or dining room table. The bowl is from the Targets Studio McGee line.
🌼
Hope you have the best day.

If you remember, I didn’t want another dog when Sampson passed last August, but Samuel was a blessing in disguise. He has helped me heal. 
🐾
I will be back tomorrow with decor. Have a wonderful Monday!

Happy Wednesday! I have to tell you that I am so e Happy Wednesday! I have to tell you that I am so excited that we put the dog crate away. It took up so much room in the kitchen and now it looks so open. I just wish my kitchen was wide enough for an island.

I didn’t lose my mind decorating for Halloween. However @krumpetshomedecor is having there Fall and Halloween launch. So much fun! The sign above the door is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week.

Happy Tuesday! I thought I would share one last lo Happy Tuesday! I thought I would share one last look at the guest bathroom before the Fall season arrives. Pretty soon it will be filled with pumpkins.
💙
I actually have not changed any of the decor in the bathroom since February of this year. I love how it looks and didn’t want to change it.
💙
The plants in the tub were in my living room, but with having puppies, they were eating them and they are poisonous, so I put them in the tub and they have survived and doing well.
💙
The rug on the floor is from @studiomoutdoor. It’s a vinyl rug that is so perfect for cleaning up after the dogs. Plus they don’t eat these rugs! Yes, they have eaten all the rugs in my house, except for the dining room rug. Sigh….
💙
Do you have a room in your house that you don’t want to redecorate because you like it the way it is?

Happy Monday! Boy this weekend flew by and I didn’t get much done around the house. Though I am slowly starting to put away some summer stuff. 
🍋
But before putting away the lemons, I had to do a summer tiered tray. I haven’t made a tiered tray in months. I love how light and bright it is. It matches my kitchen nicely.

Happy Friday Eve! So happy it’s almost the weeke Happy Friday Eve! So happy it’s almost the weekend. This Saturday we have to take the dogs to the vet. Oh man! That’s a thing. The dogs drop dead on the driveway and refuse to go in the car. They do this going there and back. It’s a comedy scene, and so embarrassing. Not fun! lol
💙
I put together a little vignette for my kitchen counter. You are probably thinking, she always shares the kitchen. It’s because I do my day job at the kitchen counter and I get all these new ideas in my head and I just have to share. 
💙
I am loving the blue with the yellow and the green. It feels light and fresh. I also love my new candle from @candleberrycandle the scent is Bergamot Amber. It maybe my favorite scent from the collection. The scent is a mix of blue amber and oak with a vibrant burst of citrus and exotic florals. 
💙
Now through July 22nd Candleberry is having a pre-sale on the new Nouveau candle line. The official launch is August 1st. If you sign up for emails you get 15% off. 
💙
Disclosure: do not burn your candles under your cabinets. I did this to show the candle. I always burn my candles in an open area.

Happy Wednesday! I am excited to finally share wit Happy Wednesday! I am excited to finally share with you my coffee bar. I kept starting to decorate it, then I’d get stuck and then the season would change and there it would sit for months bare. lol
☕️
I love the new look. It’s simple, has what we need and looks light and fresh. My husband actually noticed and said it was his favorite coffee bar yet. Then brings up how he hates the white fluffy stuff I use on the shelves for Christmas. I told him, I’m using the snow again this winter. He gives me the look.
☕️
The Coffee sign is from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s reversible and I think the perfect addition to my coffee bar. The color and style go fabulous with my decor pieces. 
☕️
The sign is also the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code PBANDP. The link is in my bio.

Hi Everybody! Happy #tiptuesday. I am sharing with Hi Everybody! Happy #tiptuesday. I am sharing with you a simple way to make your floral displays last longer. I learned this trick from a local florist.
🌸
Ingredients:
4 cups of water (1 liter)
3 tbsp. Sugar
2 tbsp. Distilled Vinegar

Add sugar and vinegar to water. Stir until dissolved. Add flowers. Try to take off as many leaves as possible.
🌸
The sugar nourishes the flowers and the vinegar will stop bacteria growth.
🌸
After I put this arrangement together, I decided to take out the yellow flowers and cut the bouquet down a little. I think it looks better. I bought these flowers from the farmers market.
