Peanut Butter Crinkle Cookies

Author: Sam

Prep Time: 15 minutes (plus 30 minutes chill time)

Cooke Time: 10 minutes

Servings: 40 cookies

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour 
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter 
  • 1 ¼ cups dark brown sugar firmly packed
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar 
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature preferred)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup coarse turbinado sugar (for rolling)

Directions

  1. Combine butter, peanut butter, and sugars and use an electric mixer to beat together until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add eggs and vanilla extract and stir until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  4. With mixer on low-speed, gradually add dry ingredients to wet, stirring until completely combined.
  5. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours.
  6. Once dough has chilled, preheat oven to 350F and line baking sheets with parchment paper, set aside. Measure out your coarse sugar in a small bowl.
  7. Remove dough from refrigerator and scoop by 1 ½ tablespoon-sized scoops. Roll dough between your palms to make it smooth, then roll in coarse sugar until completely covered.
  8. Place cookie dough on baking sheet, spacing at least 2 inches apart.
  9. Transfer to center rack of 350F oven and bake for 9-11 minutes. Cookies should look slightly undercooked when removed from the oven.
  10. Allow cookies to cool completely on baking sheet before enjoying.

Pro Tips:

-For best results use room temperature eggs.

-When making multiple batches of cookies on one single sheet pan make sure the pan is completely cooled. If you add the dough to a heated sheet pan then the dough will immediately start to cook and spread resulting in overly thin and uneven cookies.

**Storage**

These cookies can be stored for up to 5 days at room temperature in an air tight container. Alternatively they can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months in an air tight container.
