Peanut Butter Cookies

Hello.  How are you?

I know you might be tired of Amish Friendship bread but I have been making it every 10 days and I have been trying new recipes.

I found a website (Friendship Bread Kitchen)  that just has tons of recipes for the starter.  I will be trying a bunch of them.

Instead of making bread this time around, I decided to make cookies.  Oh man,  this was great.  I just loved the idea.

This recipe is for peanut butter cookies.  I will be making them again right before Thanksgiving.  It will be a great snack to take to my son's house.

 

Amish Friendship Bread - Peanut Butter Cookies

 

1 cup Friendship Bread starter

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup butter

1 cup brown sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

2 3/4 cup flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1. Mix starter, peanut butter, butter, and brown sugar. Add eggs and vanilla extract, and beat well.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Add flour mixture to starter mixture, adding additional flour if needed to form balls. Chill dough for 30 minutes.
4. Preheat oven to 350°F and form into small balls or use a cookie scoop. Roll in granulated sugar.
5. For traditional peanut butter cookies, gently flatten cookies and use the tines of a fork to make hatch marks (tip chill fork in freezer first), repeat in opposite direction. Place on cookie sheet.
6. For peanut butter blossom cookies, gently flatten each cookie with the bottom of a mason jar and gently press one Hersey Kiss in the center.
7. Bake for 10 minutes or until cookies are light brown and set.
   
   
   I will have another cookie recipe later, so check back.  I hope you have a great day.
