Description
Make your own Nutter Butter cookies at home with this easy recipe.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and both sugars until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and almond extracts.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in the peanut butter until the dough is uniform.
- Add the milk and mix until the dough is smooth and well-combined.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
- Use a fork to flatten each ball slightly and create the characteristic Nutter Butter shape.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a stronger peanut butter flavor, use crunchy peanut butter.
- You can add a pinch of cinnamon to the dry ingredients for extra flavor.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
