Description
Midnight Peanuts Butter Delight is a delicious cookie recipe that combines creamy peanut butter with chocolate chips for a delightful treat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the peanut butter mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop out the dough and roll it into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a fork, creating a crisscross pattern on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon to the dough.
- You can substitute half of the peanut butter with almond butter for a different nutty taste.
