Ingredients
- ¼ cup unsweetened peanut butter
- ¼ cup unsalted butter room temperature
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¾ cup All purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon Baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons Milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In small bowl, cream together the peanut butter, butter, and brown sugar.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add dry ingredients to the web mixture and mix until combined.
- Stir in the milk until dough is workable.
- Portion dough into 1 tablespoon size and roll each into a ball. Place each ball onto a lined cookie sheet and flatten into circle. Press down with fork to make traditional criss-cross pattern.
- Bake 12-15 minutes or until desired doneness. (bake less for softer cookies and longer for crisper ones).
Notes
- Use a creamy peanut butter rather than a chunky one - this will help ensure that the cookies have enough moisture to prevent crumbling.
- Experiment with different types of sugar. Both brown and white sugar will work well in these cookies. But you can try other sweeteners like raw honey or coconut sugar.
- Soften the butter. Cold butter won't blend well so it should be at room temperature before using.
- Bake the cookies until they're just set. If you overcook them, they'll be dry and crumbly.
- Make them gluten-free by using a gluten free flour in place of regular all-purpose flour.
