Honey Roasted Peanut Butter Cookie
Ok, let me start by saying, these are by far the BEST peanut butter cookies I have ever tasted in my life. By a long shot.
The reason these cookies are better is because they use honey roasted peanuts rather than regular peanuts.
Also, I made homemade peanut butter, rather than store bought. Homemade peanut butter sounds tricky, but it is the easiest thing in the world.
I’m so glad I didn’t shy away from trying the homemade peanut butter, because it really just takes a few minutes with a Vitamix or another food processor.
Here are the steps to these decadent cookies:
Gather Ingredients for Honey Roasted Peanut Butter Cookies
Pour Honey Roasted Peanuts in Vitamix or other Food Processor and blend until smooth
Place 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup white sugar, 1 stick butter and 1 cup homemade peanut butter together in large bowl
Blend together sugars, peanut butter and butter
Add 1T vanilla and two eggs to sugar/peanut butter mixture and blend
After whisking together 2 1/2 cups flour, 1t baking soda, 1t baking powder, and 1/2t salt, add to dough and mix on low until combined. Picture of Finished Dough Above- Delicious, by the way :)
Mix 1/3 cup sugar and dash of cinnamon to roll dough in
Roll dough into ball and roll in sugar/cinnamon mixture
I used a meat tenderizer for the holes on top. Love this idea: thank you Amanda from kevinandamanda.com :)
Almost finished with decoration on top
Place Cookies in oven at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until edges are brown
The finished product. Notice, there are a few missing – they were so darn good, we couldn’t help ourselves.
