Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, weigh or sift before measuring (210 grams)
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature (56 grams)
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (I used Teddy's unsweetened) (260 grams)
  • 1 ½ cups light brown sugar (300 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (40 grams)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Peanut Butter Frosting

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 ½ tablespoons heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt (omit if using salted butter)

Instructions

  • In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar and honey until smooth.
  • Beat in the eggs and vanilla, scraping down the side of the bowl. When fully blended, stir in the flour mixture to make a soft dough.
  • Cover bowl and chill for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Using a quarter cup measure, scoop out large balls of dough. You can use Mickey shaped cutters or you can shape Mickey heads. To shape a Mickey head, divide dough ball in half. Use one half to form two balls for ears, and use the other half for the face. Arrange like a Mickey and press to about ½ inch thick onto parchment lined baking sheets.
  • Or skip and just press the 12 balls into ½ inch thick circles.
  • Bake at 350F for about 12 minutes or until the cookies look set and have little cracks. Let cool on a rack while you prepare the frosting.
  • Beat together softened butter and peanut butter, then beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla. Add the cream until you get a smooth and spreadable consistency. You may want to add more peanut butter at this point, but that's optional. It's a very smooth and rich frosting.
