Instructions

COOKIES:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Add the butter to a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until it is fluffy. Add in the peanut butter and mix in well. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar and mix in thoroughly.

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract.

Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix until it is completely combined.

Form the dough into 1 inch balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet 2 inches apart.

Press a fork into the top of each cookie to create lines. Turn the fork and press into the cookie again, creating a criss cross pattern.

Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly browned, turning the baking sheet half way through.

Remove to a wire rack to cool.

GLAZE:

In a medium bowl, combine the powdered sugar, cocoa, corn syrup and milk. You want the glaze to be slightly thick but easy to spread. If needed, add more milk, one teaspoon at a time until you have the right consistency.

Spread the glaze over the top of one half or the cookie. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts or flaky salt. Place the cookies back onto a wire rack until the glaze hardens. This will take 1-2 hours and longer on a humid day.
