Peanut Butter Cookies: Flavor and Tradition

O Que Você Precisa Saber

- Peanut butter acts simultaneously as the primary source of fat and protein structure of the dough. - The baking soda reacts with the natural acidity of the peanuts and sugars, promoting light aeration. - The precise oven time prevents the natural oils of the peanut from burning and acquiring a bitter taste.

Ingredients

Main Course

  • 1 cup of peanut butter
  • 1 cup of brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 cup of chocolate chips (optional)
  • Utilize manteiga de amendoim cremosa para melhor consistência.
  • Oven time may vary, keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn.
  • You can replace brown sugar with demerara sugar.
  • If you prefer, add chopped walnuts to the dough.
  • For even crispier cookies, bake for 2 more minutes.

Chef Tips

- Utilize pasta de amendoim cremosa bem homogeneizada para distribuir os óleos naturais por igual na massa. - Marque as bolinhas com o garfo em formato de grade para nivelar a espessura e facilitar o assamento. - Deixe descansar cinco minutos na assadeira morna para firmar a base antes de manipular.

Variations

- Cookies with Fleur de Sel: sprinkle fleur de sel crystals over the hot cookies fresh out of the oven. - Crispy Cookies: incorporate half a cup of crushed roasted peanuts without skin into the dough. - Peanut Sandwich: join two cold cookies with red fruit artisanal jam filling.

Substitutions

- Creamy peanut butter can be replaced with crunchy peanut butter or cashew butter. - Brown sugar can be swapped for demerara sugar or coconut sugar. - The semi-sweet chocolate chips can be substituted with chopped dark chocolate pieces or cocoa nibs.

How to Store

Store in an airtight tin or well-sealed glass jar in a cool, dry place for up to five days. Keep away from direct heat sources so the peanut fat does not separate from the dough or make the cookie brittle.

Can You Freeze It?

Freeze the shaped dough balls on a baking sheet for two hours and transfer to freezer bags for up to ninety days. Bake directly frozen in a preheated oven at 180°C for twelve minutes without thawing first.

What to Serve With

Harmonize with a short, full-bodied espresso coffee, a cup of iced toasted mate tea with drops of lemon, or warm milk sweetened with honey.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this recipe really not contain wheat flour?

Yes, the peanut butter and eggs form an emulsion rich in proteins and fats that sets with coagulation from the oven's heat.

Can I use homemade peanut butter made only with peanuts?

Yes, be sure to beat well until a uniform creamy texture forms without excess oil separated on the surface.

Why is marking the dough with a fork in a cross so common?

Because it is a dense and flourless dough, the pressure of the fork levels the thickness and helps the heat penetrate the center of the cookie.

How to prevent them from getting dry or hard?

Do not exceed ten to twelve minutes in the oven at 180°C; remove as soon as the edge browns, keeping the center soft.
