Ingredients:
1 cup creamy peanut butter (preferably unsweetened)
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, for a chocolate-peanut butter twist)
1/4 cup crushed peanuts or peanut brittle (optional, for added crunch)
A pinch of sea salt (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
Prepare the Oven and Baking Sheets
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the cookies from sticking.
Mix Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and peanut butter. Beat them together until smooth and creamy. Then, add both the white sugar and brown sugar, continuing to mix until well blended. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until the dough comes together.
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the peanut butter mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
Add Optional Ingredients
If you’re using chocolate chips or crushed peanuts, fold them into the cookie dough. These ingredients will add texture and flavor, giving your cookies a delicious twist.
