Vejledning

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line half sheet pans with parchment paper. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl with a handheld electric mixer or in the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter and peanut butter until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar and mix until combined. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until creamy.

Add the dry ingredients and mix until combined.

Scoop the dough and roll into 1- or 2-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.

Bake for 10-11 minutes until puffed. Don't over bake (err on the side of underbaking slightly).

Remove from the oven and use a flat-bottomed glass to immediately press each cookie to flatten slightly. Don't flatten the cookies to smithereens, just press the puffed part down until the cookies are an even thickness.

Scoop onto a cooling rack to cool completely. These cookies freeze great (and actually taste amazing straight from the fridge or freezer).

Notater

Mel’s altitude is 2500 np and PG is 4620 so add 1 1/2 TBS flour-369 g

I rolled the cookies in sugar before baking. Use the extra sugar to dip glass bottom on to flatten cookies. Bonnie pampered chef scoop made 57 cookies.

Peanut Butter: this recipe has been tested with traditional creamy peanut butter (like Jif or Skippy) – I haven’t tried it with natural peanut butter.
