Peanut Butter Cookies [Food Processor Attachment]
Multiple applications using the Food Processor to make fresh peanut butter, cutting out the need for several extra pieces of equipment.
Ingredients
- 1 ⅔ cups (200 g) high gluten bread flour
- 1 ⅔ cups (200 g) cake flour
- 2 cups (270 g) peanuts, roasted salted
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, optional
- 1 cup (220 g) unsalted butter, room temperature (2 sticks)
- 1 cup (215 g) cane sugar [or turbinado sugar]
- 1 cup (215 g) light brown sugar
- 2 large egg
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Measure bread and cake flour, baking soda, and salt, and place into a medium sized bowl. Whisk to incorporate and set aside.
- Fit the Food Processor with the Multi-Use Blade. Place peanuts into the Vitamix container and secure lid. Start the machine and process for 2 minutes.
- Place butter, sugars, and eggs on top of the peanut butter. Start the machine and process for 45 seconds.
- Add the mixed flours to the Food Processor Work Bowl and pulse 4-5 times, stopping and scraping down the sides of the bowl when necessary. Pulse an additional 4-5 times.
- Prepare cookie sheets lined with parchment paper or silicon baking sheets. Scoop into 2.25 oz (1/4 cup) cookies, spacing them 3-4 inches (8-10cm) apart on the cookie sheets. Make cross hatch marks with the tines of a fork if desired. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
- Place in preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until desired color is achieved. Let cool slightly before moving to a cooling rack to finish cooling completely.
