Peanut Butter Cookies
September 15, 2007 at 5:39 pm | In recipe |
good ol’ peanut butter cookies. nothing more, nothing less. feel free to add 1/3 cup of semisweet chocolate chips. can’t go wrong with that!
the whiskey is used for the texture it gives the cookies, so as usual, sub milk alternative for it if you don’t/cannot have access to the stuff.
add a little more milk alternative [just a little at a time] if the dough is too crumbly, that’ll do the trick. it always depends on the thickness of the peanut butter used.
makes 12 medium cookies
1/4 cup + 1 T granulated sugar
1/4 cup + 1 T light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
2 t ener-g egg replacer [just the powder! sub cornstarch if you can't find ener-g where you live]
1/4 t cinnamon
1/4 t sea salt
1/2 t baking powder
3 T soy milk [or other milk alternative]
3 T safflower oil [or other mild flavored oil]
3 T whiskey [or more milk alternative]
1 t pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup + 2 T chunky natural peanut butter
preheat oven to 350F. prepare cookie sheet with parchment paper or Silpat.
in a large bowl, whisk together peanut butter, vanilla, whiskey, oil, milk, until well blended.
in a medium bowl, sift together flours, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, sugars, egg replacer.
pour dry ingredients in large wet ingredients bowl. using your hands, stir dough together until well mixed.
shape 12 cookies out of the dough, place on cookie sheet. be sure to flatten your cookies.
bake for 14-16 minutes or until your cookies are set and golden brown on the edges.
let cool on a rack.

YUM!!
Stupid question … why do you have to flatten peanut butter cookies?
I like the idea of whiskey being a milk replacer! ;) I think I’ll try a little in my cereal.
Thinking of you!!!!!
XOXOX

Sounds yummy! How does whiskey affect the texture?

Mmmmm, cookies. Peanut butter cookies, to boot. I didn’t know whiskey affected cookie texture either–good to know!

Yummmm… soft & chewy? Or crispy?

I don’t know if you have to flatten all PB cookies, Sarah, but these ones don’t spread out if you leave them in, uhm, balls. when you flatten them, the edges get crispy and delicious, so that’s why I do it.
La Principessa: whiskey gives them a chewier texture. I don’t know how to explain it, but someone else mentioned the same thing when I talked about my whiskey cookies the other day: their grandma used to pour some in her cookies back in the days in order to get the texture in question. give it a try if you get a chance, and let me know what you think!
crispy at the edges, melisser, and soft & chewy inside. PB for the win! :)

they put crack in it? I don’t know but it’s might-ay tast-ay indeed. too bad it’s costing an arm and a leg, even though it’s totally worth it.

Peanut butter cookies are pretty much the most irresistable thing in the world.
