Double Peanut Butter Cookies

I've had this recipe for a while now and tweaked a little bit over the years to get the best look and taste. It's a fairly simple recipe.

Double Peanut Butter Cookies

1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)

1/2 cup peanut butter

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup honey

1 egg

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 1/4 cup all purpose flour

2 cups peanut butter chips

(optional: your choice of chocolate chips)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Use your method of cookie sheet prepping (foil, cooking spray, baking mats, etc.).

Cream the butter until smooth.

Then add the peanut butter, mix until well blended and creamy.

Next, incorporate the sugar and honey, beat well.

Add the egg, then the vanilla extract. Mix until all is smooth.

In another bowl mix the flour, baking soda and powder.

The add the dry with the moist, adding a little at a time.

 

Then finally add the peanut butter chips for a few seconds.

 

Chill for about a half an hour. The dough is thin and will not take long to firm up a little. 

Use a spoon or cookie scoop and put the dough on the cookie sheets about 2 inches apart. You can use the traditional fork method of pressing down the dough.  I just wet my fingers and pressed it down.

Next, if you want, sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top.

Place them in the oven for 9 minutes. Ovens temperatures  do very, so if you know your oven well, adjust accordingly. 

ENJOY!
