Lofthouse-Style Soft Peanut Butter Chip Sugar Cookies with Peanut Butter Frosting
"Similar to Lofthouse Soft-Frosted Sugar Cookies, but these are for peanut butter fans. I added peanut butter and frosted them with peanut butter buttercream. The cookies are buttery soft, very moist and light, without being airy or cakey. The peanut butter frosting is soft, fluffy, creamy, buttery, and dangerously good. The recipe calls for cake flour, and in the blog post, there's a tip to make it yourself if you don't have it on hand. It's a must-have, and keeps the cookies so soft that they just melt in your mouth. Make sure to chill your dough, too. Some of my favorite cookies I've ever made...."
