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.
The Ultimate Peanut Butter Cookies #OXOGoodCookies
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! I was outside early evening yesterd Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterday taking pictures of flowers and I felt a shadow flying around me. I looked up and there a Monarch butterfly. 
🦋
I don’t see Monarchs very much, I was delighted when I saw this orange beauty flying around. It landed on a Zinnia before it took a rest on my Butterfly Bush. Isn’t it beautiful? It made my day. It’s the small things.
🦋
I highly recommend a Butterfly Bush in your garden. The flowers come in a range of colors from white, pink to purples. They do well in zones 5-9. The flowers smell amazing and bloom all season. They are also a great butterfly attractor and fairly easy to grow.
🦋
Do you get butterflies in your garden?

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room.

I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which is okay by me. Yesterday I worked on my bedroom and it feels so good having a clean bedroom. It was a chore that I needed to get done.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.

Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle. 
🌻
Do you you like to go to the Farmers Market?
