peanut cookies

Hey people,

Its me again, this time I'm here with a banging peanut butter cookie recipe that I think everyone should try at home. Like I always say, its super easy to make and you only need a few ingredients.
Lets get started...Heres all you need.

2 and 1/4 cups of flour, sifted
135 grams of unsalted butter (softened)
115 grams of creamy peanut butter
3/4 cup of brown sugar
3/4 cup of white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 a cup of crushed peanuts


 Whisk your flour, baking soda and salt, set aside

Measure 125 grams  of butter

Add in 115 grams of peanut butter



Add in both your sugar and mix on medium speed


Until creamy


Add two eggs and mix well


You can add a teaspoon of any flavoring you'd like

Mix in your flour mixture


Next, fold in your crushed nuts.
  *ermm that should be crushed peanuts....yeah....crushed peanuts.

Cookie doughhh!!!!!!!!!
Its delicious..try it.
Wrap you dough in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 15 minutes
 I chilled mine for 3 days, mainly because I felt lazy to bake them but the good thing is the longer you chill your cookie dough the better it tastes but don't leave it for too long tho.

Next, you line your baking sheet with parchment paper. I ran out of parchment paper so I just greased my baking sheet.
 Take out your cookie dough and let it rest on your kicthen counter for about 5 minutes or just until dough is pliable. Roll your dough into small balls and place on baking sheet, then place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 5 minutes. (I forgot to take pictures until the cookies were ready because I was simple baking cookies I prepared 3 days back)
After 5 minutes, take out your baking sheet and flatten the balls with the back of a spoon, just a little tho, you don't make them too flat because they will still spread out in the oven.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 12 minutes, rotating your tray halfway through baking time.  Let them cool and enjoy.
