Peanut Butter Cookies

I found these little chocolate bunnies (from Russell Stover) at a local grocery store and wondered if they would be just a perfect little bit of chocolate on my normally plain Jane Peanut Butter Cookies. Yes. Just the right amount. This recipe was given to me as a student at Oregon Culinary Institute. That means it has been tested, tested, and eaten.

Peanut Butter Cookies
My favorite Peanut Butter Cookie recipe to date. I like the strong flavor of peanut butter and moist crumb. Bake them a minute or two more for a crisper cookie. I like to refrigerate the dough for a good 15 minutes before baking it so the cookies don't spread.

Ingredients
Servings: dozen
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. In a mixing bowl, using a paddle attachment, cream the butter, sugars, and salt.
  3. Slowly add peanut butter and eggs.
  4. Sift together the flour and baking soda. Blend it slowly into butter mixture.
  5. Scoop portions onto sheet pans, lined with parchment. I usually refrigerate the scoops but it isn't required (see note above).
  6. I roll the scoops in granulated sugar and flatten with a fork but that is optional. I also sprinkle with sea salt
  7. Bake for 9 minutes. A minute or two longer if you like a crisp cookie.
