Peanut Butter Knockouts Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and baking soda; set aside. Using a mixer with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter and peanut butter. Add sugars and beat at medium speed for 4 minutes, scraping down bowl twice.
• At low speed, add eggs one at a time and vanilla. Add flour mixture and mix at low speed until well combined, scraping down bowl as necessary. Add peanuts and oats, and mix well. Using an ice cream scoop 1½ inches in diameter (about 1 heaping tablespoon), place balls of dough on parchment-lined baking sheets at least 2 ½ inches apart. Bake until cookies have spread and turned golden brown, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool and firm up on the baking sheet, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely before filling.
• Using an electric mixer, cream together the butter, peanut butter and confectioners' sugar until very smooth.
• To assemble cookies, spread a thin layer (about 1/8 inch) on underside of a cookie. Sandwich with another cookie, being careful not break them. Repeat.

Steps:

• Beat the confectioners' sugar, peanut butter, 2 tablespoons of the butter, vanilla extract and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer until combined and smooth. Roll the mixture into 24 equal-sized balls (about 1 teaspoon each) and place them on a small baking sheet or tray. Chill in the freezer until firm, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the chocolate and the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small microwave-safe bowl in 20 second intervals, stirring between each with a rubber spatula, until melted and smooth.
• Holding with two forks, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate to evenly coat. Tap off excess chocolate. Place the balls back on the baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator until the chocolate is firm and set, about 1 hour. Serve chilled. Refrigerate extra balls in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat.
• With an electric mixer, beat together the peanut butter, brown sugar and egg until well combined. Stir in the chocolate chips with a wooden spoon.
• Lightly wet your hands and form the mixture into 12 balls. Place the balls about 1 inch apart on the baking sheet. Lightly wet the tines of a fork and press a criss-cross pattern into the top of each cookie. Lightly sprinkle them with flaky sea salt.
• Bake until just starting to brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then remove to a rack to cool completely before eating.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375.
• Combine cookie mix, contents of peanut butter packet from mix and whole egg in large bowl.
• Stir until thoroughly bleded.
• Shape dough into 36 (about 1 inch) balls.
• Place 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
• Press thumb gently in center of each cookie.
• Combine cream cheese, peanut butter, egg yolk sugar and salt in medium bowl.
• Beat at medium speed with electric mixer until blended.
• Stir in mini choc.
• chips, if desired.
• Fill center of each cookie with rounded teaspoonful of filling.
• Bake 8-10 minutes or until light golden brown.
• Cool 2 minutes on cookie sheets.
• Remove to cooling racks.
• Cool completely.
• Place chocolate chips and shortening in small resealable plastic bag; seal, place bag in bowl of hot water for several minutes.
• Dry bag with towel, Kneed bag until contents are blended and chocolate is smooth.
• Snip a tiny hole in corner of bag.
• (I just stick a toothpick and make a little hole) Drizzle contents over cookies.
• Allow drizzle to set before storing cookies between layers of waxed paper--ps.
• I usually just microwave the choc.
• and save some time and drizzle over cookies.

Steps:

• Place the peanuts, salt and honey into the bowl of a food processor. Process for 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Place the lid back on and continue to process while slowly drizzling in the oil and process until the mixture is smooth, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Place the peanut butter in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Rinse the peanuts under cool water to remove excess dirt. Pat dry and place in a large bowl and toss with the peanut oil and salt until well coated.
• Place on 2 half sheet pans, making sure to spread them out into a single layer. Roast in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through cooking. Once you remove the peanuts from the oven, let them cool slightly before eating. They will continue to "cook" and become crunchy as they cool.
• If using peanuts to make peanut butter, remove shells and discard. Remove the skin by rubbing the peanuts together in your hands held over a salad spinner, allowing the peanuts and skins to fall into the bowl. Once the skin has been loosened from all of the peanuts close the salad spinner and spin until all of the skin has been separated from the peanuts.
