Big Giant Peanut Butter Cookie Recipes

BIG GIANT PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment and set aside.
• Melt your butter in a heat-safe mixing bowl. Note: It doesn't need to be ALL the way. See photos for an example- I've found the best stage is when about half the butter is liquid, but the rest is super soft. Like the texture of pudding. You want it to easily stir completely smooth when you touch it.
• d="instruction-step-3″>2. Stir in both white and brown sugar, peanut butter, then egg yolk and vanilla.
• d="instruction-step-4″>3. Measure your flour by lightly spooning flour into your measuring cup and leveling with a knife. Don't scoop your flour with your measuring cup. Sprinkle flour, baking soda, and baking powder in the bowl and stir until it forms a cohesive dough.
• nstruction-step-5″>4. Form one single ball of dough and set it back in the mixing bowl. Sprinkle a couple tablespoons of additional sugar over it and roll it around until it's coated with a layer of sugar.
• struction-step-6″>5. Place dough ball on your parchment-lined baking sheet and gently press down with your hand until it's about 1 inch thick. If desired, use a skewer to form the traditional criss-cross lines on cookie (see photos in blog post for a visual).
• truction-step-7″>6. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until edges are golden and top looks set. It should still jiggle in the center when you pull it out- the center will continue cooking as it sits and be soft when it cools. Let cool for 15 minutes or so before using a very large spatula to transfer to a cooling rack.

GIANT MONSTER COOKIES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream peanut butter, butter, sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in eggs, baking soda, vanilla and corn syrup. Add oats and mix well. Stir in chocolate chips and M&M's. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour., Preheat oven to 350°. Drop by 1/4 cupfuls 3 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake 14-18 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

GIANT CHOCOLATE AND PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick spray.
• Prepare the shortbread: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the vanilla and mix to combine.
• Reduce the speed to low. Add the flour and salt and mix until evenly combined. Transfer the dough to the prepared pan and press into an even layer. Prick the shortbread all over with a fork.
• Bake until the shortbread is baked through, set and lightly golden, 22 to 26 minutes. Cool completely, and remove the outer ring from the springform pan. Place on a cooling rack set over a baking sheet.
• Wipe out the bowl of the mixer, and make the peanut butter filling: Using the paddle attachment, cream the butter, peanut butter and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the vanilla and salt and mix to combine.
• Spread on top of the cooled shortbread, leaving it slightly more mounded in the center than at the edges. Transfer to the refrigerator while you make the glaze.
• Place a medium heat-safe bowl over a medium pot of simmering water. Add the chocolate, coconut oil and cream to the bowl and heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture is melted and fluid. (Alternatively, the mixture can be microwaved in a microwave-safe container in 15-second bursts, stirring after each burst until the mixture is fully melted.) Cool for 5 minutes.
• Pour the glaze over the cooled cookie, using a small offset spatula to help coat the edges evenly as needed. If necessary, you can collect the glaze that runs off the cookie onto the baking sheet and pour back over to glaze any missed spots.
• Once the cookie is fully glazed, use a large spatula to transfer it to a platter. Transfer to the refrigerator to chill completely for 45 minutes before slicing with a serrated knife and serving. Store, covered, at room temperature for up to 3 days.

GIANT PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°.
• In large bowl, combine sugars, margarine, peanut butter, vanilla and egg; beat well.
• Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup and level off.
• Add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; mix well.
• If you are making the large cookies, it helps to chill the dough for an hour or so at this point, before shaping. It seems to make a firmer cookie--less likely to break. If you aren't concerned about that, you can skip this step.
• Shape about 1/4 cup dough (for 3-inch cookie) into a ball and place 4 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet (6 per sheet).
• Bake at 375° for 13-16 minutes.
• Remove from cookie sheet and cool completely on wire rack.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a 18-by-13-inch baking sheet with parchment.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
• Beat the butter and 2 cups of the sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, scraping down the bowl as needed. Add the eggs, peanut butter and vanilla and beat until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing until the dough comes together and is smooth.
• Turn the dough out onto the prepared baking sheet. Form into a ball, cover with plastic wrap and chill about 40 minutes.
• Roll the chilled dough ball in the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar. Put the cookie back on the baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 300 degrees F and bake, rotating the pan half way through, until golden brown and the center is set, but still soft, about 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes more. Cool on the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Push the chocolate kiss-shaped candy into the center of the cookie. Cool another 40 minutes before slicing into wedges and serving.
