Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Light brown sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the unsalted butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the wet mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until a dough forms. If desired, fold in the mini chocolate chips for added sweetness.
Scoop out small portions of dough (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll into balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Using the tines of a fork, gently press down on each dough ball to create a crisscross pattern on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. The centers will still look soft, but the cookies will firm up as they cool.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Peanut Butter Cookie Bites as a quick snack or dessert!
