Honey-roasted peanut butter cookies

If you are a lover of peanut butter, raise your hand!  I love this recipe because the cookies it produces are soft and chewy and bursting with peanut butter honey flavor.  I always remember my mom letting me press the peanut butter cookies down with a fork dipped in water, and that is exactly what you do with these ones.  These go perfectly with a glass of cold milk or a cup of hot chocolate.  I mean really, is there anything better than chocolate and peanut butter together!

Recipe adapted from Great Cookies..Secrets to Sensational Sweets

Begin by sifting together 1 1/4 cup flour, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt.  Set aside.

In the bowl of electric mixer, or using a hand mixer, mix 1 cup honey roasted (or regular chunk style) peanut butter, 1/4 cup butter,  1/4 cup shortening and 2 tbsp honey until well combined.

Keeping mixer on medium speed add 1/2 cup sugar followed by 1/3 cup brown sugar, lightly packed.  Continue mixing for 1 minute, scraping down sides of bowl as necessary.

Add the egg and vanilla and beat until light and fluffy, approximately 2 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture in a slow stream.  Mix just until incorporated.  Fold  1/2 cup coarsely chopped honey-roasted peanuts into the batter and refrigerate until firm enough to handle (approximately 1 hour).

Roll into balls about the size of large walnuts and place on parchment lined baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between to allow for spread.

Using a fork dipped in water, press a criss cross pattern into each ball to flatten it down.  Don’t flatten too much, use a light touch.

Bake in a 350 degree oven with the racks positioned in the upper and lower thirds for 11 to 13 minutes.  Rotate pans from top to bottom and front to back after 8 minutes.  Remove from oven and allow to cool on cookie sheet for a minute or two before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

These cookies freeze well, so why not bake a double batch!

Enjoy!
