Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (or vanilla paste by Nielsen-Massey)
- 3 cups flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 1/4 cups peanut butter
Preparation
1. In a heavy mixer, beat butter with sugars until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, vanilla and salt. Beat well. Add flour, cornstarch and baking soda, mix just until blended. Add peanut butter, mix well. Chill dough at least 1 hour or overnight. Preheat oven to 350F. With a small scoop, scoop dough onto baking sheets. Sprinkle tops with sugar and salt. Bake 12-15 minutes (more for crunchier cookies, less for soft). Yield: 36 cookies.
