Peanut Butter HiHat Cookies Ingredients
There are three parts to this recipethe soft peanut butter cookies the frosting and the chocolate coating.
Peanut Butter I chose to use only creamy peanut butter in the cookie recipe and the frosting. However if you check out my peanut butter cookie recipe you will see I used both chunky and creamy for the cookies. Use what you have on hand. For the frosting stick with creamy peanut butter.
Brown Sugar In the cookie recipe I use a combination of granulated sugar and brown sugar. I like how the brown sugar adds a bit of flavor and the cookies are extra chewy because of it. Granulated sugar is used for sweetness! If you happen to be out of brown sugar you can use all granulated sugar.
Room Temperature Ingredients Using room temperature ingredients especially butter and eggs will help you get the best results when baking the cookies. Butter is at room temperature at 65F. Dont put it in the microwave to soften it simply cut it up into small pieces and let it sit out if you forgot to take it out of the refrigerator.
