Now a days Peanut Butter Cookies are going viral in cooking world. Most attractive part of this cookie is, its nice and flavorful peanut butter smell. Me and family loved it, and now it’s your turn to taste it.

Peanut Butter Cookies are soft, little chewy and of course full of peanut flavor. I have already made lots of cookies and some of them already on my page @recipeonplate.

I love baking, and very often I make cookies, cakes, muffins and other things. These handmade baked items are very popular among my friends and family.

You all already knew that I am a found of baking, So following my passion, once again I came with one more new baking dish.

I am a Indian and love to eat Indian food. So I use to start my morning with dosa, idli, khichdi and so on. On the same time I am too much addictive towards the continental food. And so I love to have cookies as a small snacks and pizza and pasta as my dinner.

It’s not easy being a food blogger. But I love food and I am enjoying my job to write about food and recipes, to click photo of it and finally when the time comes to have it.

Notes

1. Always strain the flour before using it for any recipe. This process will help you to get lumps free pure flour for your dish. Even You should also strain baking powder before using it.

2. If you are going to use normal crystal sugar, then you should grind it before. Or mix the sugar with the butter and leave it sometime to melt it properly. Use the same if you are using jaggery.

3. I have used both peanut butter and chopped roasted peanuts for the dish. Because I want to get little coarse peanuts in my mouth when I will chew the cookies.

4. Egg is totally optional for the cookies. If you don’t want egg in your cookie, just made it without it.

5. Always Make soft and loose dough for cookies. Don’t make the dough so tight, otherwise it will break when you try to give it a shape.

6. You can use roasted peanuts for this recipe, or you can make it at your home. To roast them, microwave them for 2 minutes or dry roast in a fry pan for 3-4 minutes on low flame.

7. Don’t decrease the amount of normal butter, else you will get hard and very hard cookies.

8. If you are a soft cookie lover then always bake you cookies for 10-12 minutes. 15 minutes will be great for hard crunchy cookie lover.

9. I have tried to give them a nice and catchy look. So that I used a cookie cutter. If you don’t have this, just give them round shape or any shape you want.

Step 1: Take a bowl, then add one by one all ingredients. Put 100 grams of peanut butter, 1/2 cup of normal butter (use butter in room temperature ) and jaggery or sugar into it. Mix them until they blend together, in that case use a beater or a whisk for mixing purpose.

Step 2: After that add vanilla essence and one egg into it. Mix them all nicely. Now it’s time to add chopped peanuts and refine flour in this. If you don’t get roasted peanuts, then just make it your own. I have shared the method above. Within 2 minutes you can make it at home.

Step 7: I have given nice shape to the cookies using a cookie cutter. After that create a crisscross design on top of each cookies (to do that use a fork spoon). Now put them on a baking tray. Maintain 1 inch space between two cookies. I have used a butter paper on the tray before putting them on it.
