Ingredients
- 8 ½ ounces bread flour
- 8 ½ ounces cake flour
- 1 ¼ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ¼ cups 2-1/2 sticks butter, room temperature
- 10 ounces light-brown sugar
- 8 ounces granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup chunky or creamy peanut butter
- 10 ounces semi-sweet chocolate coarsely chopped
- 10 ounces Mini peanut butter cups halved
- fleur de sel for sprinkling
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the cake flour, bread flour, baking soda and baking powder.
- In a large bowl (you can use an electric stand mixer or use a handheld electric mixer), cream the butter until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes.
- Add granulated and brown sugar and salt. Mix well.
- Add the eggs, vanilla and peanut butter, Mix until the batter is very light in color, 2-3 minutes.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated.
- By hand, mix in the chocolate and peanut butter cups. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours or up to 24 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line baking sheets with parchment or silpat liners. Form balls of dough with about 2-3 tablespoons of dough (each of my cookie dough balls weighed 2.55 ounces - how's that for fussy?).
- Place on the cookie sheets about 2 inches apart. Sprinkle lightly with fleur de sel. Bake until the cookies are golden around the edges but still soft in the middle, 13-16 minutes. Keep the dough refrigerated in between batches.
Notes
- A Little Fussy: these cookies are fussy, no doubt. The ingredients should be weighed, dough requires cake flour and bread flour and needs some chilling. But the results? Totally and completely worth it.
