Baking with Bumble- Honey Peanut Butter Cookies

 I thought it would only be fitting for our first featured recipe to have the ingredient honey in it. We do have an abundance!  Here are the ingredients you will need to make yummy Honey Peanut Butter Cookies:
 
 
1/2 cup butter
1 cup creamy peanut butter
 1 cup honey
2  eggs
3 cups flour
1 cup sugar (plus a little extra to roll cookie dough in!) 
1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt  
 
Since we have all the ingredients lets begin! In a mixer cream together butter, peanut butter, and honey.  Ok, Bumble would you like to squeeze the Honey for me?
 
 
 
Wrong Honey Bumble! Try again!
 
 
Ok that is much better. 
 
 After the butter, peanut butter, and honey are mixed, add the eggs:
 

Mix again. Now we are ready to move on to the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. I let Bumble help with this part.
 
 
 
It's ok if you got some on your shirt Bumble!
 
 
When it is done the dry ingredients will look like this:
 

Next, using your mixer, mix the dry ingredients together with the honey peanut butter combination we mixed earlier. After they are combined it will look like this:


Now you are ready to shape the cookie dough into balls. Don't forget to roll the balls in sugar to make them extra yummy!  Good job Bumble!


Next squish the cookie dough balls with a fork to put the classic "fork marks" in the cookie . This signifies "yes, I am indeed a peanut butter cookie!" These are ready to head into the oven!


Bake them in a 350 degree oven for 8-10 minutes. Now what shall we do while we wait for them to bake?  How about play with Honey!


 
Wrong Honey, Bumble!
 
 
 
Ok, that is much better!
 
 Now they are ready to come out of the oven.  Let them rest on the cookie sheet a minute or two and then take them off to let them cool. 
 
 
 
Store them in an air-tight container.
 


Warning: These will not last long. I love the soft but chewy texture these cookie have. Have fun baking and sharing these with your family!!!
