Description
Soft and squishy peanut butter cookies are sandwiched between two extra crispy saltine crackers for the ultimate salty, sweet, soft & crunchy cookie ever.
Ingredients
Units
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter (- at room temperature)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter
- 2 large eggs (-at room temperature)
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 72 saltine crackers
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a bowl and whisk to combine.
- Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, blend together the butter, sugar and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Be sure to scrape the sides of the bowl down a couple of times with a rubber spatula.
- Add the peanut butter and and cream together for about a minute, scrape the sides of the bowl down again.
- Crack the eggs into a liquid measuring cup and add the vanilla. Slowly add to the sugar mixture one egg at a time, allow the first egg to blend in completely before adding the second egg. Scrape the sides of the bowl down.
- With the mixer on a low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients. Once fully mixed, be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl and blend until the dough is just mixed and cohesive.
- Using a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop, form cookie dough balls and place on a lined baking sheet.
- Then gently squish the dough balls between 2 saltine crackers until they are about 3/4" thick disks.
- Place 8-9 cookies on lined baking sheets and bake for 10-ish minutes, until the cookies are lightly browned and crisp around the edges but still soft in the middle.
- Allow to cool on the baking sheets before serving. Or if you're like me, eat them when they are still all warm and squishy.
