About Peanut butter cookie
Research draft based on the references below. These notes describe particular recipes and presentations; ingredient connections are still being reviewed.
Sally McKenney’s soft peanut butter cookies have thick centres, slightly crisp exteriors and crumbly edges. Their traditional fork-made criss-cross sits above a sparkly sugar coating.
Unsalted butter is creamed with the selected light brown sugar and a smaller portion of granulated sugar. Egg, creamy peanut butter and vanilla join this mixture before the flour, baking soda and salt are added.
The very creamy dough chills until it can be rolled into small balls. Each ball is coated in a separate portion of granulated sugar and arranged on a lined baking sheet.
A fork presses the criss-cross into the balls, then fingers reshape their edges into thicker discs. They bake until the sides are set and lightly browned, with the centres still looking soft.
The cookies rest on their sheets before cooling completely on a rack. This selected version uses processed creamy peanut butter and keeps the plain criss-cross shape; McKenney treats filled and chocolate-studded variations separately.
