I love a great peanut butter cookie. With a few simple tips and tricks you can bake flawless pb cookies every time!
Here’s a few of my favorite little tips that will make your cookies even better (and have everyone asking you for the recipe)!
5 Tips for Perfect Peanut Butter Cookies
- Choose the right peanut butter – Smooth or crunchy, conventional or organic, the type of peanut butter you use makes a big difference. I generally use standard creamy peanut butter (NOT organic or “natural”) for my recipes. Organic and natural pb can drastically change the outcome of a recipe. Also avoid reduced-fat versions.
- Weigh the flour – Measuring flour with measuring cups isn’t always very accurate. A scoop can easily be filled heavier or lighter than a recipe was written for, which will change the outcome. That’s why I always include weights with my recipes. For perfectly soft and chewy cookies, use a kitchen scale to weigh your flour.
- Don’t skip chilling – If the recipe calls for chilling the dough, don’t skip it. Chilling solidifies the butter and peanut butter, helping the cookies hold their shape and develop deeper flavor.
- Don’t overbake – Peanut butter cookies continue to cook slightly after being removed from the oven. Take them out when the edges are set but the centers are still soft for perfectly chewy results. Baking a tester cookie (and letting it cool!) can be a great way to get used to your oven and bake cookies perfectly every time.
- Enhance flavor with a little salt – I love using Maldon sea salt flakes for a little touch of gourmet to just about any cookie. Sprinkle just a touch (I rub the flakes between my fingers as I sprinkle to make smaller pieces) over cookies that are fresh out of the oven. Peanuts and salt are of course a perfect pairing, so this little extra can really send your peanut butter cookies to the next level.
