Peanut Butter Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
- Cream together the butter and sugars.
- Add the eggs, beating them in one at a time.
- Add peanut butter. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt.
- Then add the flour mix to the peanut butter mix. Combine.
Classic Peanut Butter Cookies:
- Shape the dough into 1 inch balls, then place them on a cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Using a fork, gently flatten down the balls of dough. I like to criss cross my pattern. It looks pretty!
- Bake the cookies for 9-12 minutes. I bake mine for 9 minutes at the most because we like soft chewy cookies. If you want to bake them longer, watch them closely after about 9 minutes, because they go from perfect to burnt really fast!
Peanut Butter and Jam Thumbprint Cookies
- Once you have made your cookie batter, shape your dough into 1 inch balls, and place them on a cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Use your thumb, and make an indent in the centre of the cookies.
- Bake for about 9-12 minutes.
- As soon as they are out of the oven, using your thumb, indent them again.
- Fill the indent with jam, while the cookies are still warm!
- You can use any kind of jam you like!
Peanut Butter and Nutella Thumbprint Cookies
- Follow the same steps as the PB&J Thumbprint Cookies, except fill the indent with Nutella.
- NOTE: fill the indent with Nutella once the cookie has cooled.
