Author Notes: Fresh summer raspberries and peanut butter. The combo says it all! —Hallie Meyer
Makes: 15 cookies
Ingredients
For the peanut butter cookies
-
3/4
cup all purpose flour
-
1/2
teaspoon baking soda
-
1/4
teaspoon baking powder
-
1/4
teaspoon salt
-
1/2
stick unsalted butter
-
1/4
cup crunchy peanut butter
-
1/2
cup packed brown sugar
-
1
egg
Fresh raspberry glaze
-
1
cup raspberries
-
1/2
cup confectioners sugar
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 and line a cookie sheet with parchment. In a medium bowl, using a handheld mixer, beat together butter and peanut butter until uniform in color. Add sugar, and beat until fluffy. Add the egg and beat until combined, about 1 minute.
- In a small bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Add flour mixture to peanut butter mixture and beat until just combined.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of batter onto the cookie sheet and bake for 8-12 minutes, depending on your doneness preference. I like them at 8.
- Meanwhile, place raspberries and a tablespoon of white sugar in a food processor and puree. Pour pureed raspberries through a fine mesh sieve over a small bowl and press with a spatula to extract juice from the pulpy mixture. Discard the seeds. Whisk confectioners sugar into raspberry juice until thick enough to drizzle over cookies. I used 1/2 cup.
- Allow cookies to cool completely. Using a spoon, drizzle raspberry glaze over cookies and serve with a cold glass of milk.
