2 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp baking powder

CHOCOLATE DIPPED COOKIES:

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Mill the fresh flour

• Preheat oven to 375F
• Set WonderMill® dial to “Pastry”
• Mill 1 cup Unsifted® Dessert Blend grain

2. Mix butter + sugars

Pro Tip: Butter softened past room temperature can cause flat cookies. If final dough is shiny, place in fridge until firm.

• In a large mixing bowl, add ½ cup softened butter
• Add ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
• Add ⅓ cup sugar
• Add ⅓ cup packed brown sugar
• Using an electric mixer, mix on high speed just until smooth and slightly fluffy (about 1-2 minutes)

3. Add wet ingredients

• Add 1 large egg
• Add 2 tsp vanilla
• Mix well

4. Add dry ingredients

• Add 1 tsp baking powder
• Add ½ tsp salt
• Mix well

5. Mix remaining ingredients

• Add all the unsifted flour
• Optional: Add mix-ins (see list in ingredients)
• Mix until just combined (do not overmix!)

6. Chill dough (optional)

• Cover dough with plastic wrap
• Place dough in refrigerator for 1-2 hours or up to 3 days

7. Shape + Bake

• Lightly grease baking sheet or use parchment paper
• Shape dough into 1 ½ Tbsp balls
• Recommended: Add ¼ cup sugar to small bowl and roll each dough ball in the sugar
• Place on baking sheet, 2” apart
• Using a fork, flatten ball making a crisscross pattern
• Bake at 375F for 8-10 minutes
• When cookie edges are barely browned, remove baking sheet from oven to avoid dry cookies
• Let cookies rest about 10 minutes on the baking sheet
• Using a spatula, transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool or serve and enjoy warm

 

STORAGE TIPS

Cooled cookies may be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or frozen for up to 3 months in a freezer bag. Thaw at room temperature before enjoying.
