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

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and both sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and almond extracts.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in the peanut butter until the dough is uniform.
  7. Add the milk and mix until the dough is smooth and well-combined.
  8. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
  9. Use a fork to flatten each ball slightly and create the characteristic Nutter Butter shape.
  10. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  11. 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.
