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 🙂

      I haven’t tried reduced fat peanut butter but the way I eat it, I should! I like to crumble the cookie on my yogurt and oatmeal 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!

    Mmm.. peanut butter cookies are my favorite cookie! I love that they have a crispy outside and softer center, thats the best! Adorable recipe 🙂 I shouldn’t make these myself or else I’ll probably scarf down half the batch before anyone else can get to them!

    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 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!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
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?

🌿
I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
