Hello and welcome back to In the Kitchen with Matt, I am your host Matt Taylor. Today I am going to show you how to make peanut butter cookies, mmm, yummy. This homemade peanut butter cookie is really is to do, if I can do it, you can do it, let’s get baking. All right first we are going to preheat our oven to 375 degrees. We have one cup or peanut butter, and what we are going to do is take our butter, we have one half cup of softened butter, one half cup of light brown sugar, one half cup of white granulated sugar, and with a hand mixer or stand mixer, let’s go ahead and cream this all together. Okay once we are done let’s go ahead and scrape the sides. Okay, now we have 3 tablespoons of milk, let’s add that, start the, cream it together, scrape the sides, one egg, cream that in together, 1 tsp. of vanilla extract. And then let’s scrape the sides one more time, and then we take 1 and ¼ cups of all purpose flour, add one tsp. of baking powder, 1 fourth tsp. of salt. And then with a fork or a whisk or you can sift it together; let’s mix this all together. All right, come back to our peanut butter, and then we are going to add this, about a third of a time, add the flour to the peanut butter mixture. Let’s turn on the mixer, scrape the sides, add another third of the flour, okay, and then let’s add the rest of the flour, and scrape the sides one more time. Okay once we are done mixing, let’s go ahead and clean the beaters. As a kid, my favorite part of cookie making was actually licking off the beaters, some how my mom always would clean off a ton, to where, like that, to where I would barely have any to lick off. And now our dough is ready to go. All right, now it is time to roll out our cookies. So what you do, I just take a table spoon, you can use whatever method you want, this just helps to get the same amount of cookie, and just get some dough here, and then I am going to roll it into a ball like that, and then you place it on a cookie sheet, and then what you are going to do is you are going to take a fork, and you are going to push it down like that. And you can leave it like that shape, or you can come in to this other side and go like that, all right, now, optionally what you can do also, what I like to do, if you want extra sweet cookies, go ahead and take your dough and roll it into sugar, all around like that, pretty cool, go ahead and do the same thing. And if the edges start to split a little bit, that is totally fine, you can just come in here and push them back together, if you want a nice perfectly formed cookie, pretty cool, and now I am going to finish rolling those out. Now I am using a silicone-baking mat, this is an artisan mat brand, it is not necessary, you can use parchment paper if you like, I really like these artisan mats, it really helps the cookie to not burn on the bottom, and you can re-wash it, they last a long time, I will put a link down below if you want to pick one up, this batch is ready to go. So what we do is bake these in the oven, 375 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges get slightly brown, on to that step. All right after they come out of the oven, just let them set on the cookie sheet for about 5 minutes then transfer them over to a wire rack to cool completely.

2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the peanut butter, butter, sugar and brown sugar. Beat together until smooth & creamy using a stand mixer or hand mixer.
Add the egg and vanilla extract and continue to mix until well combined.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Stir in the flour mixture to the butter and sugar mixture and mix until well combined.
Use a cookie scooper or spoon the dough into 1 inch balls.
Using a fork, press down on each ball of dough to flatten, creating a criss-cross pattern.
