- Prep Time: 30 minutes
- Cook Time: 10 minutes
- Total Time: 40 minutes
- Yield: about 4 dozen cookies 1x
Ingredients
2 ½ cups flour (12.5 oz)
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups creamy peanut butter (16 oz)
1 cup butter, room temperature
1 ¼ cup dark brown sugar, packed
¾ cup white sugar, plus ½ cup for rolling
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
About ¼ of a batch of this fudge (or any fudge, roughly ½ pound)
Instructions
Pre-heat oven to 350 F.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Measure ½ cup of sugar in a small bowl and set aside for when you roll the dough in it.
In a medium bowl combine flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside
In stand mixer with a paddle attachment cream butter and peanut butter together till creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl at least 1-2 times. Add sugars and mix just till combined. Add eggs and vanilla and mix till well combined. Add in the flour mixture in 2 parts and mix till just combined.
Take about 1 ½ – 2 tablespoons of dough and flatten it in your palm. Place a cube of fudge in the middle and wrap the dough around the fudge to form a ball. Roll the dough ball in sugar till coated and place on the baking sheet.
Bake dough balls for 10-11 minutes just until edges are starting to set up. Remove from oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
Notes
Don’t pack your flour. Too much flour in these cookies will make them dry and crumbly. If you have a kitchen scale use it to weigh it, if you don’t, spoon and scoop the flour into a measuring cup instead of scooping with the measuring cup itself.
I always weigh my peanut butter measurements because I hate washing measuring cups that have had peanut butter in them.
