Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- Creamy Peanut Butter – 1 cup
- Brown Sugar – 1/2 cup, packed
- Vanilla Extract – 1 teaspoon
Dry Ingredients
- All-Purpose Flour – 1 cup
- Baking Soda – 1/2 teaspoon
- Salt – 1/4 teaspoon
Add-ins
- Chocolate Chips – 3/4 cup
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick silicone mat to ensure easy clean-up and perfect cookies.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and creamy, creating a rich base for the cookie dough.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Sift the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt into the peanut butter mixture. Gently fold everything together until a soft dough forms, making sure not to overmix.
- Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough, ensuring each bite will have a surprise of melty chocolate.
- Shape and Bake: Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to form bite-sized balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving small spaces between each. Bake for 9-11 minutes, watching closely so they remain chewy and soft.
- Cool and Enjoy: Remove from oven and let the cookie bites cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This lets them set just right.
Notes
- Use room temperature peanut butter for easier mixing and smoother dough.
- Don’t overbake; remove cookies when edges are set but centers remain soft for perfect chewiness.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to achieve thicker, plumper cookie bites.
- Measure flour by spooning and leveling to avoid dry cookies from excess flour.
- Experiment with mix-ins like chopped nuts or candies to customize texture and flavor.
