We are heading there to Utah visit Mike's family so I was on pinterest looking up places to eat.
I found a women's blog where she did a post about her favorite restaurants. While exploring her blog I was a picture of cookies that just looked so yummy. Chocolate and peanut butter in desserts are my favorite.
So apparently there is a popular bakery called Cutlers in Utah. Unfortunately I won't be e near it on our visit. But this lady went there and took there classes where they learned how to make some of their most popular cookies. So I pinned the recipe and decided I would have to try it.
These are the best cookies I have ever made. It was time consuming since it involved baking cookies and making 2 buttercream icings. But oh my gosh. I wish I had some right now.. You have to make these!
Cookies
1 cup butter, room temperature1 cup brown sugar1 cup white sugar1 teaspoon salt1/2 teaspoon baking powder1/2 teaspoon baking soda1 teaspoon vanilla2 eggs3 1/4 cups cake flour ( he uses cake flour in all of Cutler's cookies)1- 12 oz bag Reese's Peanut Butter chips (no substitutions)Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and place rack in center of oven.Cream together butter, sugars, salt, baking soda and powder. Add vanilla and eggs. Mix well.Add flour and peanut butter chips. Mix just until flour and chips are blended together.Using a cookie scoop or ice cream scoop, or just a large spoon, scoop into 2 inch balls and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet about 4 inches apart. I bake about 8 cookies per sheet.Bake for about 12 minutes, or until set.
Butter Frosting1/2 cup butter, soft-room temperature3 cups powdered sugar1/2 cup peanut butter (not natural)milk to thin to proper consistency (whole milk is best)Cream together room-temperature butter and powdered sugar. Add peanut butter and beat until smooth. Add milk a tablespoon at time, just until frosting is smooth and creamy. Set aside. *I've made these with only 2 cups powdered sugar before and it turned out good too. It was a little less sweet and a thicker frosting but it worked.
Chocolate Frosting1 cup butter or 1/2 and 1/2 blend butter/margarine5-6 cups powdered sugar1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa (or less if you like a lighter cocoa frosting)1 tablespoon vanilla1/4 to 1/3 cup milkCream butter and 5 cups powdered sugar. Add cocoa and vanilla. Add milk a tablespoon at a time until frosting is smooth. If needed, add more powdered sugar.
Now it's time to frost the cookies! First, the peanut butter, then you gently frost the chocolate frosting on top of that. Try to leave a small space between the peanut butter frosting and the chocolate for a layered look.
