ingredients

1 cup dry roasted salted peanut
2 cups all-purpose flour
¹⁄₂ teaspoon baking powder
¹⁄₄ teaspoon salt
³⁄₄ cup unsalted butter, softened (1 1/2 sticks)
1 ¹⁄₂ cups packed light brown sugar
¹⁄₂ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup creamy peanut butter

directions

Place peanuts in a food processor and finely chop. Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a medium-size bowl.
Combine butter and both sugars in a large bowl; beat on medium-high speed with an electric mixer until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth. Add peanut butter and beat until smooth. Stir in flour mixture just until incorporated. Stir in the chopped peanuts.
Divide the dough into 2 equal portions. Turn one portion onto a piece of waxed paper and shape it, rolling it inside the paper, into a log about 12x2-inches. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours. Repeat with the remaining dough. (Dough logs may be wrapped tightly in plastic and frozen for up to 1 month. Slice and bake directly from the freezer).
Heat oven to 350.
Slice the dough so it doesn't become flattened as you cut. Place cookies on ungreased baking sheets at least 2-inches apart. Pinch together opposite sides of each slice at the middle to create a peanut shape, reshaping as necessary.
Bake at 350 until lightly colored, 13-15 minutes (a minute or 2 longer for frozen dough). Let them stand on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then remove them with a metal spatula to a wire rack to cool completely. Keep at room temperature in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
Drizzle (opt): If desired, melt 1 cup peanut butter chips with 1/2 teaspoon vegetable shortening in microwave for 1 minute. Stir until smooth, then transfer to a resealable plastic bag. Snip off a small corner; drizzle over cookies. Let dry at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before stacking
cookies.

Square Meals Make Round People - Author Unknown Do It With Love---It Will Taste Better - Author Unknown I joined zaar in 2002 but I really didn't use it much on until 2006 after my computer crashed and I lost all my unsaved recipes. Now I post all recipes I've tried or would like to try. I'm actually making it my goal to try almost all the recipes I've posted as soon as I can. I love food and I love to eat and try different recipes. My favorite course is dessert. I love sweets! This leads me to that I did have Gastric Bypass surgery on July 25th 2008. On that note I love baking and cooking a priceless gift passed down from my grammy who I dearly loved and miss deeply. My grammy passed away 1/15/07. She was a wonderful cook and baker and taught me many things and the most valueable things was how to be a wonderful cook and baker like her. I really enjoy searching for new recipes especially here on Zaar. I'm always finding and adding to my cookbook new and exciting recipes. I also enjoy posting recipes here on Zaar as well. I really love collecting different cookbooks. I have over a 100 and growing! I collect mostly Taste Of Home & community cookbooks. The minute I get a cookbook home I sit down and I read my cookbooks from front to back like novels. I work for the Elmira City School District and YWCA. I'm raising my 8 yrs old newphew. I'm a part time college student studing Early Childhood Education, but taking time off and hoping to return soon. I live in Elmira, New York where famous writer Mark Twain did some of his writing and he once lived. I have 1 cats Samantha and 1 dog our newest member MOO MOO (my nieces dog) who are my children as I do not have any human children of my own. I lost four of my very dear children (kitty's) Callie June 2007, Miss Kitty in March 2010, my dog Angel in December 2010, and my other cat Chase in September 2011. I'm recently married on August 12th 2010. I love spending time with my niece 9 yrs old and my newphews 7 & 8 yrs old. I enjoy couponing and trading coupons. I love the internet as there's so much to look at online even though you know where I spend most of my time! I enjoy going to yard sales and estate sales every spring - fall. I love gardening and have many different pretty flowers. 8724441"
