I´m again working hard at school so here come my “purse cakes” as I like to call them. This time, I was inspired by America and made these Peanut Butter Cookies. At first, I was thinking to make an upgraded version, for example stuffed with jam, but I decided to make the classic ones in the end. I´m sure you have heard many versions of these cookies, I know that are also 3 ingredient recipes. I didn´t choose this option since I think that they wouldn´t be as tasty as these ones. And they are really tasty. Cookies are soft, but crispy at the same time, and their crispiness really got me. If you´ve ever bought a package of American cookies with chocolate, you know how crispy they were, but not dry at the same time. This is exactly the consistency these peanut cookies have. Another advantage is that dough doesn´t need to be cooled so you can form small balls from it right away. So they are not-time-consuming as well (I hope I don´t need to write about their overall simplicity). But if you´re one of those who don´t like peanut butter on bread, you bought it and now you don´t know where to use it, this recipe is also for you. I think you will like these cookies even if you don´t like peanut butter. After all, peanut butter on bread and cookies made from it are two different things 🙂
- 500 g peanut butter
- 230 g butter
- 250 g white crystal sugar
- 130 g brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 390 g all purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking soda

Beat peanut butter with butter, white and brown sugar until fluffy.
-
Add eggs and vanilla extract, beat again.
-
In the next bowl, mix together flour, baking soda and salt.
-
Incorporate flour mixture to butter mixture and create dough.
-
Take small parts from dough and create small balls from them.
-
Put these small balls in a baking pan covered with baking paper and press them down from two sides using a fork.
-
Bake on 180 degrees for 8 – 10 minutes.

Ahoj 🙂 Prosím aké arašidové maslo je na sušienky ideál? Lepšie tuhšie alebo tekutejšie ? Všimla som si totiž u viacerých značiek, že je rozdiel medzi značkami hlavne v tekutosti…
Ja používam arašidové maslo z Lidlu, príde mi dosť tuhé a pracuje sa mi s ním vo všetkých receptoch dobre (Aj na pečivo je super :))
