best peanut butter cookies ever! in my opinion")

Yes yes and YES Cindy Barr Pocious gave me her peanut butter cookie recipe and said I could share it....MY FAVORITE! I copied and pasted our conversation because I still love her idea of using peanut butter oil from the top of natural peanut butter....LOVE IT! but Cindy, I still look forward to you making them for me. I can go for one right about now. In need of something sweet after a quick and delicious salmon dinner with cous cous and roasted brocoli.

 

 

peanut butter cookies

1/4 cup butter
3/4 cup peanut butter oil from the top of natural peanut butter. You can use the sloppy oily part as part of the 3/4 cup. This is the trickiest part, I have used different kinds and have only found Trader Joes to work.
2 1/4 cups BREAD flour
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup sugar (I have used both brown and white)
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 tlb milk
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
375 about 12 min
It is best to use a scoop so all the cookies are the same size. Don't flatten, just leave in a round shape.
When they cook you will find they flatten a bit and will be crisp on the out side and chewy on the inside. Its the bread flour that works the magic.
I only use bread flour now for cookies.

Oh of course. I have also used just peanut oil, does not work. I am thinking because the oil is way to processed were as the crushed peanut butter has just enough bits to enhance the taste
