Baking Delicious Peanut Butter Cookies | Paul Hollywood's Easy Bakes

In this video, Paul shows how to bake his delicious and moreish Peanut Butter Cookies. Full instructions and ingredients are below...
160g butter, softened
275g smooth peanut butter
135g caster sugar
135g soft light brown sugar
2 medium eggs
250g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
50g salted peanuts, roughly chopped
In a large bowl, cream the butter, peanut butter and sugars together using an electric whisk until smooth and fluffy. Mix in the eggs, one at a time.
Add the flour with the baking powder, and chopped peanuts. Mix well to form a stiff dough..
Tip onto a large sheet of baking paper or cling film and roll the dough into a cylinder, 28cm long and 9cm wide. Wrap in the paper or cling film and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours to firm up.
Heat your oven to 170°C/Fan 150°C/Gas 3 and line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
Unwrap the dough, cut into 16 equal slices and place on the prepared trays. Bake for 14-16 minutes until the cookies are golden, risen and slightly cracked on the surface - they will still be soft when you remove them from the oven.
Leave the cookies to firm up on the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

    We always made drop cookies, then take a fork and push down twice on the ball of dough making a criss cross pattern. Can't wait to try these.

    I just made these. Your recipe is very much like mine. I dump my uncooked dough into a bowel and then fridge for the hour, then scoop 1 tablespoon onto parchment paper, using a floured fork, press slightly onto cookie making #, bake 12 minutes at 350. Perfect. I also use crunchy peanut butter.

    As another posted already noted, the “mark” of a peanut butter cookie is the hash mark made by flattening a dropped cooked (I use a #10 scoop) with the backside of a fork in a crisscross. No need to roll and reform the ends you cut off. If you prefer to bake chilled dough to lessen the spread of the cookie, place the fork-flattened cookies in the fridge for 10 minutes before baking. Same result, less work, authentic look.

    Adding my agreement with others' comments that PB cookies are traditionally finished with a cross hatch pattern pressed into the tops with a fork. (Two presses per cookie.) I'll add, I make a diabetic friendly version that is outstanding. Peanuts naturally have oil, so no butter necessary. Just crushed peanuts -2 cups (to the point where they resemble PB), one egg, 1/2 c. Splenda. And no refrigeration, or parchment paper - just mix, then scoop a spoonful, press it a bit into a ball, use the fork one direction then the cross direction, bake (350 F) for 10 minutes. These cookies are better a few days later, as the Splenda develops and sweetens.
