Peanut Butter Cookies

February 13, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 22 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Today I want to share with you two loves.  Nope I’m not talking about my two bad dogs, nor my Husband and little Jenny, but I am talking about my love for peanut butter and chocolate.

Your shocked, I know!  Saturday night I got the worse craving for peanut butter cookies, it’s been two months since I’ve had them and I figured Valentine’s holiday was a perfect excuse to make them!  So I made my dough, refrigerated over night and Sunday morning I got up at the crack of done to make these babies!


So glad I did, I think I ate like 5 of them and told my Husband please don’t let me eat anymore.  Well it’s not even noon yet and I’m thinking, maybe one more!   Now I know why I don’t make them that often, I’ll eat the whole batch!  My original intention with these was to put Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups in the center, but you know what these were to perfect, they didn’t need anything else.  So they stayed put!

These cookies taste like a cookie Grandma would make.  There crispy on the outside and soft in the center.  The added chocolate drizzle was a little pretty touch, I made a quarter of the batch with the chocolate, since I tend to like plain a little better!

To make them heart shape I rolled them into a ball, flattened with my palm and took a heart shape cookie cutter to cut the shape out and then dipped in granulated sugar.  I did one batch at a time since the dough got soft real quick.  In between batches, I would place the dough in the freezer to harden up a little.  Than I did it all over again.  It’s a little time consuming rolling one cookie at time and doing one batch at a time, but well worth the wait!

For Valentine’s Day, most woman want flowers, but no, not me, I would take a bouquet of peanut butter cookies any time.  So if your thinking of sending me flowers, please don’t, just send cookies!!!

Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients:

1/2 Cup Peanut Butter

1/2 Cup Butter, softened

1/4 Cup Sugar

1/4 Cup Brown Sugar

1/2 tsp. Baking Soda

1/2 tsp. Baking Powder

1 Egg

1/4 tsp. Vanilla Extract

1/2 Cup All Purpose Flour

3/4 Cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour

Additional sugar for rolling

Optional:  Dark Chocolate, melted

Directions:

In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and peanut butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, and baking powder. Beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally.

Beat in the egg and vanilla until combined.

Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour.

Cover and chill dough about 1 hour or until easy to handle.  I did mine over night, but that’s not necessary.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

In a shallow bowl add about 1/4 cup granulated sugar; set aside.

Sprinkle work surface with flour and roll cookie dough out to about 1/4″ thick.  Use a heart shape cookie cutter to cut shape. Than carefully place cookie in sugar and press gently down to cover cookie with sugar.  Do this with both sides.

Place dough 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until bottoms are light brown. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool.

Optional, drizzle with chocolate

Makes 56 cookies

Calorie per cookie without the chocolate:  45.3,  Fat:  2.8,  Cholesterol:  4.4,  Sodium:  21,  Potassium:  4,  Carbs:  4,  Fiber:  .04,  Sugar:  1.9,  Protein:  1.1

I’m happy with the carbs and sugar count on these cookies!!

I hope you enjoyed one of my all time favorite cookies!  Since it’s early on Sunday, my Husband and I are going on a date to the casino.  Wish me luck, I’m in the mood for some slots.  Plus with all this energizing peanut butter in me, I can’t lose!!

Have a lovely week!!

QUESTION:  What is your favorite kind of cookie?

    I JUST bought a new jar of reduced-fat peanut butter, you put this recipe up at the perfect time!
    I’d have to say peanut butter cookies are probably my favorite. After those, I love the kind with a whole bunch of stuff in them, like chocolate chips, oatmeal, nuts… it’s how I like my ice cream too 🙂

    These look amazing and I’m a HUGE fan of both peanut butter and chocolate….together or separate! My all time favorite cookie is the traditional chocolate chip. Like you, I seldom make them, because when I do, I snatch one up every time I pass them! Best of luck at the Casino and Happy Valentines Day!

    Well, you had me at peanut butter. I’m not much of a cookie baker but these look so tempting I may have to make a batch. I’ll have to quarter the recipe, though, because I have no willpower when it comes to peanut butter 🙂 Happy Valentine’s Day!

Happy Thursday! It’s been a crazy week over at m Happy Thursday! It’s been a crazy week over at my house this week. I started rearranging things around and left messes throughout my house. I start in one spot and it spread throughout. I need to do some major cleanup before the weekend.
💙
One thing I did was change my table in my dining room. I went more neutral until I start to bring the lemons out. I can’t wait for lemon season. I already have a tablescape in mind.
💙
I got the cute Home Sweet Home sign from my friend Brantley from @thesassyoak. It’s in the perfect spot. When you walk into my house you see the table right away. Isn’t the sign so cute? It matches my home so beautifully.
💙
What are your plans for the weekend?

Happy Wednesday!! Half way through the week. Boy I Happy Wednesday!! Half way through the week. Boy I can’t wait for the weekend. I’m looking so forward to finish working in the garden. Well, technically it will never be finished, which I don’t mind. I want to plant a tomato this weekend. Just not sure what kind?
🌿
I refreshed my living room just a tad bit. I took down most of the bunnies, and that is all. I had a lot of them. It made me realize that I forgot my coffee bar. I still have bunnies, chicks and eggs on it. They’ll have to come down this week.
🌿
I have a surprise! Swipe my photo and you’ll see Sampson! He hasn’t made an appearance here in awhile. He said he misses you all!
🌿
Are you planting any vegetables this season?

My Mom got these by saving the stamps you would get from the grocery store with purchase. Each piece of China had a stamp value. So once you collected enough stamps you could pick up another piece of the collection. Needless to say, my Mom collected a lot of stamps and I have the whole set to serve 12 people.☕️

Happy Thursday! I changed up my dining room a lit Happy Thursday! I changed up my dining room  a little bit. I took out my Easter decor and gave it a more neutral look and did some switching around. Plus I added a Samantha Sue, who is laying down in the photo. lol
🍓
One of my favorite pieces that I added was my new @krumpetshomedecor sign. I love the style of the sign with the shiplap white wash look and of course the cute strawberry and daisies that add a pretty pop of color.
🍓
The sign is also reversible. It also says Life is Sweet on the other side without the strawberries and daises. The sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week.

Hello and happy Wednesday! Thank you for all your Hello and happy Wednesday!  Thank you for all your kind words about the dentist. All he had to do is cement my crown back on. He said your crown has sticky with clear stuff on it. He said I don’t think it’s the old cement?  I told him I ate a white Trader Joe’s jelly bean and I thought I got it all off. He was laughing.
🌿
It’s that time of year for house plant care. While your plants are waking from dormancy, it’s time to feed them, repot them if needed and give a trim if applicable.
🌿
I also water my plants about every 7-10 days, depending on the plant. My coffee plant, fern, violet and my mixed plant container needs watering more. The key to know when to water is check the soil. I use a water meter probe and  you just stick it in the dirt. If it’s dry, I water. If it’s moist or wet, I’ll check again in a few days. You can get a water meter at Lowe’s, your local nursery or Amazon. It’s my number 1 garden tool. We use it on outside plants too.
🌿
I’m also sharing with you my cute little tea towel that I got from @e.h.designco. Her shop is closed right now because she’s moving, but will be open back in June.
🌿
Okay, go check your plants!
🌿
What’s your favorite house plant?

Happy Tuesday! Well today’s the day! I head to Happy Tuesday!  Well today’s the day! I head to the dentist. Wish me luck. I hope they will be able to glue my crown back on. I hate going to the dentist! Ugh!
🌸
Today I am sharing with you my new plates and bowls that I got from @sonemone_official. I just love them. The shade of blue is so pretty and I love the vibrant colors on them.
🌸
The bowls are huge and would make a wonderful soup bowl or salad bowl. The plates would be beautiful served with a charcuterie board. They are microwave and dishwasher safe. They would be so pretty on a summer tablescape.
🌸
Are you ready for summer decorating?

Happy Good Friday! So happy the weekend is here. Happy Good Friday!  So happy the weekend is here. It’s been a glorious week with warm temperatures and sunshine. Next week it’s supposed to cool off dramatically, so I am going to enjoy it while it’s here.
💕
I wanted to get one last Easter tiered tray in before Sunday. Everything you see here is from small shops. I tagged all of them in the photo.
💕
This weekend I’ll be taking a break from IG to work in the yard and to do some decorating so I have some new content to share with you. Though with Easter almost behind us, I’m unsure what I’ll do next? But I do think I’ll stick with the yellows? But we’ll see.
💕
Have the most wonderful weekend and Easter holiday!!

Happy Thursday! I can’t believe March is behind Happy Thursday! I can’t believe March is behind us and now we are in April. March flew by in a blink of an eye.  I can’t get over how fast the month went. It’s crazy.
🌸
My excitement for me today is trying to get into a dentist. My crown on my implant fell out yesterday when I was eating a jelly bean. The last place I want to go is the dentist. Yuck!
🌸
I’ll admit engagement in March on IG has just been awful. But I am so thankful for you. Thank you for stopping by and liking my photos and your sweet comments. You always make my day. Let’s hope April is better for all of us.
🌸
I’m sharing with you my top 4 photos of March. You guys picked some good ones. The first photo of the Easter tablescape is my favorite tablescape I’ve done.
🌸
Do you have any plans for this weekend?

Hey, hey, hey! Happy Wednesday! Well I crammed 23 Hey, hey, hey! Happy Wednesday! Well I crammed 23 bunnies into this picture, if you count the bunnies on the pillow. Can you find them all?
🐰
This is probably my favorite spot to decorate. About a year or so ago, I had no idea what to do in this area. I struggled so much. It’s just an odd space. Then I bought the white bench and it instantly became so much fun to decorate.
🐰
I loved the bench so much, I bought a second one to go under the other window. That bench holds my plants. I have other awkward spaces in my home that I would love to add a bench, but my husband would kill me if I got another. I can overdo things when I like something. Like bunnies and pumpkins. lol
🐰
Do you have something that you can’t resist to buy?
