My Favorite Peanut Butter Cookies
These are by far the best peanut butter cookies I have ever had. I was so happy to find this recipe as it introduced me to fresh ground peanut butter (you should be able to find it in your health food stores or even some grocery stores). My brother and I used to get excited about opening the new jar of creamy peanut butter, the smooth, untouched goodness and the awesome aroma. That does not even begin to compare to the absolute perfection of freshly ground peanut butter. It is a sublime ratio of tiny crunchy pieces of peanuts mixed with a thick creamy peanut butter. And that fresh taste in these cookies is splendiferous (ok, I had to break out the thesaurus to describe how wonderful these are!) And they are so fast and easy to make!
As with some other recipes on this blog, you may want to double the recipe as it does not make a whole lot.
Ingredients:
1 Cup Freshly Ground Peanut Butter1/2 Cup Organic Sugar
1/4 Tsp Sea Salt
1/4 Tsp Baking Soda
1 Tsp Organic Vanilla Extract
1 Organic Cage Free Egg
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 F
- Beat peanut butter in large bowl (it flies out) with a mixer on high
- Add sugar, salt, baking soda, vanilla, and beat 30 more seconds
- Add egg and beat until just mixed
- Form balls with the dough and place on cookie sheet about 1 inch apart
- Press a fork into the balls to make a criss-cross
- Bake 14 - 16 minutes
Makes 12 - 15 cookies depending on how big you make them
Enjoy!
