Tonight I took first place in a cookie baking competition with these cookies and I've had requests for this recipe in the past. I was mostly winging it with this batch but these are the ingredients I used. I think I can still make it better but that's for a later update. After all, the judges said that the second place winner would have tied for first if not for my cookie's originality. Need to widen that gap a bit. Haha!
Cream together.
1 cup of butter
1.5 cups of white sugar
.5 cup of packed brown sugar
1 cup of smooth peanut butter
1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
Mix together
2.75 cups of all purposed flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1.5 teaspoon baking soda
Combine both parts and roll into one inch diameter balls. Carefully press them into flat disks on a cookie sheet. Place a small ball of marshmallow fluff on top of the disk, cover with another disk of dough and seal the edges carefully.
Bake at 350 until just starting to visibly brown on the bottom.
This makes for a nice, mellow peanut butter cookie with a chewy, sweet, almost taffy like center. Next time I am going to try this recipe with an egg added to the dough for a little extra chewy goodness. There is always room for improvement.
If you make these please let me know how they come out and how you think they might be improved.
