Total Time:
35m
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups crispy rice cereal (such as Rice Krispies)
- 1/2 cup chopped peanuts
- 1/2 cup strawberry jam (optional)
Directions
- Heat oven to 375°F. Using an electric mixer set on high speed, cream the butter and sugars in a large bowl. Lower to medium speed and add the egg, peanut butter, and vanilla. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to the butter mixture on low speed. Beat until incorporated. Fold in the rice cereal and peanuts.
- Form the dough into approximately 1 1/2 -inch balls. Place on parchment- or foil-lined baking sheets, 2 inches apart. Gently press the cookies with the back of a fork to create classic hatch marks. Use your thumb to create a shallow well in the center of each cookie and fill with a spoonful of jam, if desired.
- Bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Let cool on sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks.

FRESH PICK
Turnips
Although the turnip has been grown for more than 4,000 years and was one of the first foods to be cultivated in Europe, it
is currently underappreciated: It keeps well, takes to almost any cooking method, and has a subtly flavored, tasty flesh.
