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 Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?
