Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe

Hi Everyone,

This is my peanut butter cookie recipe that I used to make the cookies at the hanami.  I had to convert this recipe from the American measurement system to the Japanese system.

INGREDIENTS

• Butter                 100 grams
• Peanut Butter   130 grams
• White Sugar      90 grams
• Brown Sugar      90 grams
• Egg                      1 whole egg
• Flour                   230 grams
• Vanilla                5 grams
• Baking Soda      5 grams
• Salt                      3 grams

Mix the butter, sugars, and egg in a large bowl.  ( Make sure butter is a little warm/ soft so that it is easy to mix. )

Then add the rest of the ingredients.    Stir until everything is evenly mixed (均等に混合).    Then cut a wax piece of cooking paper.

Take a small amount of the cookie dough (生地） and roll it into a ball with your hands.  The ball should be about the size of a golf ball.

Place the balls of dough on the cooking sheet and use a fork to  flatten the balls down. (平らにする).  You will see a fork pattern on top of the flat cookie dough.

Bake the cookies at 190 degrees Celsius for about 15-20 minutes.

Just in case, make sure to check the cookies so they don’t burn.  😀
