So I like peanut butter. But every peanut butter cookie disappoints me in some fundamental way. I gave up for a while, until I came across these little babies. I have changed them around a bit but the sugar coating is key. It gives them a mix of soft in the middle and a bit of crunch on the outside. Here is what you will need:
3/4 cup creamy HONEY peanut butter
1/2 cup butter
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1 egg
3 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
Colored sugar for rolling
Dark Chocolate Chips
Start by using a mixer to blend the peanut butter and butter well. Add both type of sugar and mix until well blended again. Add your wet ingredients, the egg, vanilla and milk. Mix again. Finally in small batches add the dry ingredients.
At this point, cover and put in the refrigerator overnight. Because you will be rolling small size cookies, the dough gets too soft and it is best when it can harden. Roll out small cookies about 1/2″ wide. Roll in the colored sugar and cook for 5 minutes. I would use parchment paper. Cook at 350. Press a chocolate chip in the top as soon as they come out of the oven. Let cool and then devour!
