Ingredients for Peanut Butter Cookies:

Peanut Butter Cookies

  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup butter (softened at room temperature)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon liquid vanilla
  • 2 medium-sized eggs
  • 2½ cups flour

For coating the cookies:

  • ½ cup powdered sugar

Preparation Method:

  1. Mixing the Dough:

    • Place the softened butter and peanut butter in an electric mixer bowl.
    • Add the brown sugar and powdered sugar, along with the baking powder.

    • Gradually add the flour and continue mixing until the dough is soft and ready.
  2. Chilling the Dough:

    • Place the dough in the refrigerator for about an hour. Once you remove it, let it sit for a bit until it becomes soft enough to form into balls easily.
  3. Shaping and Coating the Cookies:

    • Form small balls from the dough and roll them in powdered sugar, creating a crispy coating.
    • Place the balls on a baking tray and gently press them down with a fork to flatten them slightly and give them their characteristic shape.
  4. Baking:

    • Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F) and bake the cookies for about 10 minutes until they have a light golden color.
    • Let the cookies cool down before decorating.
