Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe (About 24+ cookies) Dry ingredients: 7.5oz all purpose flour (about 1 2/3 cups) ** Used 2.5 cups flour once and batter was slightly drier, but cookies still equally good! Hubby prefers more. ** 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp salt Wet ingredients: 10.5oz brown sugar (about 1.5 cups) 1 cup creamy peanut butter (about 250g) 2 Tbs honey 1 tsp vanilla extract 4 Tbs melted butter 2 eggs 1/2 cup roasted peanuts (chopped) Whisk together dry ingredients. Whisk together wet ingredients. Add dry to wet ingredients. Fold until just combined. Add roasted peanuts. Scoop and roll into ball. Flatten to 2 inch diameter. Bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes (rotate halfway) Made these and SO good! Best PB cookies. ATKs scientific recipes are good for a reason. Make these! 👍😎🤩

Omg, I was already loving this video, but then Erin brings out her mom?! Delight overload! When these at-home vids started, nearly two years after the start of the pandemic, and shortly after all the other YT cooks seemed to be heading back to food studios (BATK; Food52, et.), I wondered if ATK had missed the mark. But I *love* seeing my favorite chefs in their own real, normal, non-sexy kitchens. These kitchens (and tools) feel like mine (except I have a very messy kitchen), and it feels like I get to peep inside of their lives a little bit. And as much as I adore Bridget and Julia, it's great meeting other cooks and product reviewers on a regular basis. Keep up the good work; keep inviting ur moms (and dads) over. 15/10: highly recommend ATK channel and recipes.

Made these cookies this afternoon. It is a very simple recipes and I appreciate that you mentioned to turn the cookies half way through baking. I’ve never heard that before and I’m really amazed how that step helps to make perfect cookies. First time I’ve made them and they are delicious! Thanks for a great cookie.

@ra1der5 Жыл бұрын

These are now my go-to peanut butter cookie! Chewy and delish! 1) If you don’t have the “Adjust-a-cup”, coat your utensils with cooking spray before measuring the peanut butter and honey. The food will come out easy and cleaner. 2) The dough looks very wet/oily as compared to other cookie doughs. 3) I used a #40 (1.5 TBSP) scoop and baked 10 minutes. Cookies were between 2.5”-3” wide. Perfect! 4) 4:50 why bother rolling the cookies into a ball when you’re just going to turn around and flatten them out? 5) Finally, the bottom of my 1/4 cup measure is almost exactly 2” wide. I just pressed the cookies down with the measuring cup until I saw the edge of the dough around the bottom of the cup. Perfect!

@ph11p3540 2 жыл бұрын

This is how all bulk ingredients should be measured out. This lady does this right. Always portion your dry bulk ingredients by weight not volume. Why? Because brown sugar can lose moisture and flour particles can settle and lose trapped air. Sifted flour has about 25% more air trapped in it compared to settled flour. If your bag of brown sugar is drying out and getting bricked you can revive it with a few drops of water. Let the water permeate the brown sugar overnight. Repeat this the next morning with a few more drops of water if the brown sugar still feels lumpy when you squeeze the bag. Absolutely love those Adjust-A-Cups for measuring wet sticky ingredients.

Most recipes calling for peanut butter turn out best with any brand of peanut butter with hydrogenated oil. Save the organic and natural stuff for your toast.
