Crispy Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies Recipes

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CRISPY BARS

Steps:

• Line an 8-inch square baking dish with a strip of parchment paper, cut to fit neatly across the base and up opposite sides. In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown rice crisps and 1 cup of the chopped pecans (reserve the rest for sprinkling on top). Set both aside.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the peanut butter and honey. Warm the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring often, until it's steaming or you catch a bubble or two forming on the bottom, about 5 minutes. (We don't want this mixture to come to a boil or the peanut butter could scorch.)
• Pour the warm mixture into the bowl of rice crisps. Using a rubber or silicone spatula, stir until the mixture is completely combined. Transfer it all to the lined baking dish. Press down with the spatula to spread it fairly evenly, then switch to a large, sturdy glass with a flat bottom (maybe a working jar or mason jar or what-have-you) and press down firmly all over, including the corners. You really want to pack it down (it's ok if you hear some crunching noises). Lastly, use your hands to ensure that it's evenly compacted.
• Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring after each one. Don't overdo it. The chocolate is done when it's about 90% melted-keep stirring off the heat and the pieces should completely dissolve. (Alternately, you can use melt it in a heat-proof bowl set over a saucepan of gently simmering water.)
• Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter-crispy mixture. Use a clean spatula to spread it evenly all over. Make some pretty chocolate swooshes if you'd like. Sprinkle the remaining pecans on top, followed by the salt.
• Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or up to a day. To slice, carefully grab both sides of the parchment paper and lift it out of the baking dish. Use a sharp chef's knife to make 4 even columns and 4 even rows-to minimize the risk of cracking the chocolate, carefully apply even pressure from above the knife to press straight down, rather than sawing from one edge across.
• These bars will keep well at room temperature for up to 1 week, or for several months in the freezer. Store in an air-tight container either way.

CRISP PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• In a bowl, cream butter and sugars. Add peanut butter, egg and vanilla; beat until smooth. Combine the flour, baking soda and baking powder; add to creamed mixture and mix well. For easier shaping, chill the dough for 1 hour. Shape into 1-in. balls; place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten each ball by crisscrossing with the tines of a fork dipped in sugar. Bake at 375° for 10-12 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned and cookies are set.

PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES WITH MILK CHOCOLATE CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Process Rice Krispies in a food processor until they are reduced to dust.
• Measure out 1 cup of the pulverized Rice Krispies and combine it with the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.
• Stir in the eggs and vanilla.
• Stir in the chocolate chips.
• Stir in the dry ingredients until well blended.
• Drop heaping tablespoonsful of dough on to ungreased cookie sheets. I use a 1 1/2 tablespoon size cookie scoop but I don't level it off.
• Press down on the cookies to flatten them slightly. If you don't do this step the balls of cookie dough will maintain their shape and won't bake right.
• Bake cookies 12 to 14 minutes or until done.
• If you want you can leave out the chocolate chips and make just plain peanut butter cookies. In this case, take a fork and press down on the mounds of cookie dough before baking them to make the familiar crisscross pattern that's common to peanut butter cookies. Baking time will be the same. Yield will be about 42 cookies.
