Delightful cookies filled with creamy peanut butter and chocolate chips, combining sweet and salty flavors for an irresistible treat.
Ingredients
Cookie Dough
- 1 cup peanut butter Creamy or chunky, based on preference.
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar Packed.
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened Should be at room temperature.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
Filling
- 1 cup peanut butter For stuffing.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, mix together the peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, softened butter, and egg until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the peanut butter mixture. Stir until well combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed in the dough.
Assembly
- Scoop out small amounts of dough and flatten them slightly. Place a small dollop of peanut butter in the center of each flattened dough piece.
- Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the peanut butter filling, ensuring it is fully enclosed, and shape into a ball.
Baking
- Place the cookie balls on a baking sheet, making sure to leave some space between them.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For best results, ensure butter is softened, don’t overmix the dough, and watch the cookies while baking to prevent over-baking. You can also refrigerate the dough if it's too sticky.
