Gros Ventre River Ranch Old Fashioned Peanut Butter Cookies
Ingredients:
- 2 c. peanut butter
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 1 ½ packed brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 t. baking soda
- 2 t. vanilla
- ½ t. salt
- Large sugar crystals for decoration
Cream peanut butter and both sugars until smooth. Add baking soda, salt, and vanilla. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until smooth. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten in a crisscross pattern with a fork and sprinkle the large sugar crystals on top. In a convection oven these cookies bake very fast-don’t leave them alone! Bake at 350 degrees. Cookies bake for between 6 and 10 minutes, and it is best to rotate them halfway through. Cool briefly on baking sheets and then transfer onto a cooling rack.
Adjustments
- If baking at a high elevation, adjust by using 1 1/3 cups of white sugar and 2/3 cup of brown sugar.
- Flax eggs may be used to make it egg free and vegan.
We are sure you will love these Gros Ventre River Ranch Old Fashioned Peanut Butter Cookies as much as we do!
