Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 75 grams Brown sugar
- 200 grams Creamy peanut butter
- 1 piece Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 75 grams Chopped peanuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
Fold in the chopped peanuts to add extra crunch to the batter.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion the dough into 24 balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Press each cookie ball down with a fork in a crisscross pattern to slightly flatten them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your crunchy peanut butter cookies with a glass of milk or tea!
