As years go by, manufacturers think we’re just a bunch of “sleep walkers” and we don’t realize that they keep cutting quality, amounts and sizes. They like to jack the prices up too 📈! Certain food items I really enjoyed back then that now taste like sawdust! On top of everything, there are preservatives and other chemicals that are so not good for us!
For these reasons, I’ve been making 👩🍳 more and more of my favorite foods from scratch. I think of Hamburger Helper, French Vanilla Coffee Creamer, Herb & Butter Rice, jams, Orange Julius, ice creams, Onion Chip Dip, Filet-O-Fish Sandwich, Swedish Meatballs, Lemon Iced Tea, Gyoza, and the list goes on…
Another one that I added to the list about 5 years ago is Pirate Peanut Butter Cookies Copycat! Not very difficult to make, these cookies are far superior to the ones from the store plus there’s some seriously tasty filling! These sweet treats really taste like peanut butter not some industrial “blah” flavor 🥱!
Just like Jamie Oliver and his war against fast food chains using fillers & other harmful ingredients, mine is against the manufacturers! Besides Fig Newtons Cookies and Chocolate Chips Cookies 🍪, I will continue duplicating recipes plus make them taste even better!
Before becoming a brand under Nabisco (National Biscuit Company) acquired in 1928, Christie, Brown & Co. was a Canadian 🍁 bakery founded back in 1853 in Toronto. Its slogan was – “Mr. Christie, you made good cookies!”. Among their cookies, there was one with a combination of oatmeal and peanut butter… I’m sure you can guess which one I’m talking about!
This Pirate Peanut Cookies Copycat recipe is one of our favorites 💖! After the dough is made and baked, it’s a breeze to assemble them with that delicious filling. There are a few points I would like to highlight so the end results are flawless…
As much as natural peanut butter is somewhat healthier, do not use it! First, the natural one has no salt 🧂 or very little depending on the brand and is unsweetened. Second is the texture. The regular peanut butter has hydrogenated vegetable oil which helps when cooking under high temperature versus the natural ones. The regular has a nice smooth texture while the natural is slightly grainier.
After the dough is made, I portion my dough onto two large prepared baking sheets. I use a Zeroll portion scoop and its number is #70. Its size is not quite a tablespoon 🥄. To be precise, it’s 14 grams or .49 ounce. I like using it because the portion gives me exactly 24 cookies… not 23 or 25.
The next step makes the cookies look nicer… 🤩 Yeah, okay, I admit it, I’m a perfectionist!
Later when cooled off on the wire rack, I like pairing my cookies according to the same size and shape for a beautiful end result. After they’re all matched up, I use the same portion scoop as earlier, place the filling on the bottom from a pair, take the other half, gently place it on top and twist it back and forth to get an even thickness from end to end.
From there, I transfer them to the fridge for 1 hour ⏰ to harden so they’re less messy to eat. Remember, there’s butter plus melted peanut butter in them. I then place them in an airtight container and back to the fridge for up to 6 days… if they last that long!
This Pirate Peanut Butter Cookies Copycat recipe is the perfect delicious reason why everyone should make them from scratch. Step away from your computer 💻 or iPhone, roll up your sleeves and spend some quality time in the kitchen. Both your health and wallet will thank you…
Bon Appétit! 🍽
