Peanut Butter Cookies


So they are not the classic PB cookies but they are still pretty good, let me tell you that these cookies have a PB surprise, yeah that's right, instead of making them with peanut butter I stuffed them with peanut butter which if you ask me is a lot better

- 250 gr. of flour
- 1/4 c. of cocoa powder
- 75 gr. of sugar
- 7 gr. of dry active yeast
- 1 egg + 2 yolks
- 100 gr. of unsalted butter
- 50 gr. of shortening
- 1/4 teaspoon of peanut oil

1. Dissolve yeast in warm water, sift cocoa powder, baking powder and flour. Beat butter, shortening and sugar until light and fluffy, add eggs one at a time and peanut oil.

2. Combine with flour mixture, cover dough and refrigerate 1 hour. Make medium balls of about 1.5 inches, press them and fill them with 1/2 teaspoon of peanut butter, cover completely and make balls again. Press slightly.


Bake them at 300°F for about 15 minutes

  3. First of all....your guava tart looks fabulous! Guavas are way under-used. (Guava jam is a favorite around here. My mother used to pick guavas off trees when she was playing golf and she made absolutely THE best jam!)
    How unusual to use yeast in your pb cookies! I'd love to try these. Using globs of pb is a neat idea too. Your first photo is great!
