Peanut Cookie Dough Ingredients- 40g softened butter, at room temperature
- 60g creamy peanut butter
- 1g salt
- 15g sugar
- 25g maple syrup
- 90g sifted cake flour (or all-purpose flour)
- 1g baking powder
- 1g baking soda
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, ensure your butter and peanut butter are softened to room temperature, making them pliable. Place the butter and peanut butter into a mixing bowl and cream them together using an electric mixer on the lowest speed until smooth.
Step 2
Add the salt, sugar, and maple syrup to the bowl. Mix them in gently.
Step 3
Increase the mixer speed to medium-high (speed 4) and whip the mixture thoroughly for about 2-3 minutes, until it becomes light, fluffy, and pale in color. This process incorporates air for a lighter cookie.
Step 4
Sift the cake flour, baking powder, and baking soda directly over the creamed mixture. Sifting ensures that the dry ingredients are evenly distributed and free of lumps.
Step 5
Using a spatula, gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Stop mixing as soon as you no longer see streaks of flour. Overmixing can lead to tough cookies.
Step 6
When there are still a few streaks of flour visible, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Perform the ‘fraisage’ technique: press and spread the dough with the palm of your hand multiple times. This helps develop the dough structure without overworking it.
Step 7
Lay a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap on your work surface, and place the dough on top. Cover the dough with another sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap.
Step 8
Using a rolling pin, evenly roll out the dough to a thickness of about 0.5 cm (approximately 1/4 inch). Once flattened, carefully slide the dough (still between the parchment sheets) into the freezer. Chill for at least 1 hour, or until firm enough to cut cleanly. This step is crucial for preventing the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
Step 9
Once the dough is thoroughly chilled and firm, remove it from the freezer. Use your favorite cookie cutters to cut out shapes from the dough.
Step 10
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Carefully place the cut-out cookie shapes onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them as they will spread slightly during baking.
Step 11
Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C (340°F) for 10 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Keep an eye on them, as baking times can vary depending on your oven.
Step 12
Once baked, transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. After they have cooled, pipe or spread your melted chocolate onto the flat side of one cookie and sandwich it with another cookie. Your delicious peanut butter sandwich cookies are ready to enjoy!
