The Whole Jar of Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter , softened
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 egg yolk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 jar peanut butter , 18 ounce
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup chopped peanuts

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, cream butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the eggs, yolks, and vanilla; mix until fluffy. Stir in peanut butter. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the peanut butter mixture. Finally, stir in the peanuts. Refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours.

2. 2

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a cookie sheet.

3. 3

   Roll dough into walnut sized balls. Place on the prepared cookie sheet and flatten slightly with a fork. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Cookies should look dry on top. Allow to cool for a few minutes on the cookie sheet before removing to cool completely on a rack. These cookies taste great when slightly undercooked.
