Chewy Honey Peanut Butter Cookies with a Graham Cracker Crust

Chewy Honey Peanut Butter Cookies with a Graham Cracker Crust

     First and foremost, I love to bake; one of the joys of baking is making and altering recipes to make them a signature treat that has your family, friends, and even neighbors begging you to make more. Secondly, who doesn't love a great peanut butter cookie?! Especially one with extra peanut butter and -- get this -- HONEY! Some of you may feel a little biased towards this recipe upon first looking at it, but trust me -- grandma will even ask you for a copy of it. Lastly, this is my own personal recipe.
     Basically, I searched for a recipe that suited my preferences (extra peanut butter and a soft, chewy texture) and from there, I went into what I like to call "Mad Scientist Mode" (or, MSM for short). Remember, presentation is only half of the battle -- the cookies need to taste just as good as they look!

     *Note: I doubled the batch because they will quickly disappear!

 

Supplies That You Will Need:

1. 2 mixing bowls
2. Electric Mixer
3. 1 large Zip-Lock bag
4. Cookie sheet (I use stone tray)
5. Cooking spray* (if you're using a non-stick cookie sheet, you won't need this)
6. Rolling pin
7. Sifter

Ingredients

• 16 oz. peanut butter (I prefer the extra chunky peanut butter or honey peanut butter)
• 3/4 cup honey (make sure you have extra honey to drizzle on top!)
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 6 tablespoons buttermilk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon sour cream
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 box graham crackers (preferably honey, or you can try cinnamon sugar for a new kick)

Step 1 Step 1 -- Getting Started

 

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In a large Zip-lock bag, put one package of graham crackers inside, zip it, and use the rolling pin to crush the graham crackers. Set the Zip-Lock bag aside.
• • Note: Don't crush them to a pulp! Make sure you have nice chunks of graham cracker in the mixture.
