Making Peanut Butter Cookies With Nancy Silverton

The title of Nancy Silverton’s newest cookbook is “The Cookie That Changed My Life,” so we asked the iconic chef, baker, and author to join host Jessie Sheehan and share what’s so special about this particular baked good and walk us through the recipe. Nancy also talks about her recipe development process and how this peanut butter cookie came to be; why she amped up the amount of vanilla for maximum flecks and flavor; her thoughts on shaping cookies and cookie sheets; the fine line between creamed butter and greasy butter; and why she combines her leavening agents, spices, and salt with the butter instead of the flour. Want to bake along? Here is Nancy’s recipe for her life-changing cookie. Thank you to Plugra Premium European Butter and California Prunes for supporting our show.
