Ingredients

Peanut Butter Shortbread Cookies
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened (113g)
  • ½ cup unsweetened peanut butter 150g
  • ½ cup granulated sugar 100g
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract 16g
  • ¼ cup milk 59ml
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour 240g
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt 2g
Raspberry-Orange Glaze
  • 4 tablespoons seedless raspberry jam
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice 32g

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, peanut butter and sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer (or a stand mixer).
  2. Add the vanilla extract and milk. Combine with the butter/sugar mixture until smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Sift together the flour and salt, then add to the wet ingredients, beating until the batter just comes together.
  4. Cover with plastic wrap and let chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
  5. While the dough is chilling, make the glaze.
  6. Heat the seedless jam in a microwave-safe bowl. When warm, whisk together with the orange juice until smooth. Set aside.
  7. Once your dough has finished chilling, preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and set aside for later use.
  8. Scoop out 1" rounds of the dough, placing evenly on the baking sheet. Using a fork, flatten the tops of the cookies using criss-cross marks.
  9. Bake the cookies for 15-20 minutes (or until slightly browned and crisp).
  10. Let cool on a wire rack, then drizzle with the glaze and enjoy!
