PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES RECIPE - BETTYCROCKER.COM



Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe - BettyCrocker.com image

The hash mark may be one of the most prevalent symbols in modern life, but it’s been the “mark” of peanut butter cookies for more than eighty years, and for good reason. Pressing a hash mark into each cookie ensures this dense dough will flatten out and bake evenly. While using this kitchen-tested recipe ensures your peanut butter cookies will turn out perfectly. It’s been in Betty’s back pocket for quite some time, and you can bet this recipe isn’t going anywhere soon. Home cooks from all over have claimed this to be the best peanut butter cookie they’ve ever made—and we certainly agree! Soft and chewy with the perfect salty-sweet balance, these tender cookies will disappear at every potluck, party or cookie exchange. For an added bit of sparkle, roll your cookies in coarse sparkling sugar just before baking.

Pipe the mascarpone cream over the first biscuit, then gently place the second biscuit on top. Pipe the remaining cream and decorate as you like.Frequently asked questions:CAN WE MAKE NUMBER CAKE A DAY AHEAD?The number cake is at its best in the day of the preparation, but yes, you can prepare the tarts a day ahead, store them in the fridge. Also prepare the cream a day a head or in the day of serving and store in the fridge. Then, when ready to serve, pipe the cream over the tarts and assembly the cake and serve. But I would not recommend making the whole cake ahead of time, as the tart become soggy after some tome.HOW TO MAKE THE BEST NUMBER CAKE?To make the best number cake for the birthday of your loved ones you must follow these steps: 1.
