Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Cookie Dough

Start by *creaming the softened butter* in a mixing bowl. Add the peanut butter, salt, brown sugar, white sugar, and baking soda to the bowl. Use a mixer to combine the ingredients thoroughly for about *4 to 5 minutes*, until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Next, add the egg and beat well until incorporated.

Step 2

Add Flour and Chocolate

Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the mixture along with the chopped chocolate or chocolate chips. Mix until just combined, ensuring that everything is evenly distributed within the dough.

*Chill the dough* in the refrigerator for *20-30 minutes* to firm it up for easier handling.

Step 3

Preheat and Prepare for Baking

While the dough is chilling, preheat your oven to *175 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit)*. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Shape and Bake the Cookies

Once the dough is chilled, take a spoonful of dough (about *50-55 grams or about 1.75 ounces*) and roll it into a ball. Place these dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each ball as they will spread during baking.

Bake in the preheated oven for *12-14 minutes*. The cookies will appear very soft when removed from the oven.

Step 5

Cool the Cookies

Allow the cookies to sit on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. They will harden slightly as they cool.

Servings

Imagine setting the scene for a cozy gathering with friends or family. As you place a platter filled with these golden-brown cookies in the center of the table, the room fills with irresistible aromas that pull everyone closer. These cookies are perfect for afternoon snacks, warm with a glass of milk or coffee, giving a delightful boost to your day. 🌟

For a fun twist, consider making an ice cream sandwich by placing a generous scoop of vanilla or chocolate ice cream between two cookies. This heavenly combo will charm everyone, young and old! 🍦✨

Feeling creative? Pair your cookies with a homemade fruit compote or even spread a layer of chocolate ganache on top for added indulgence. Each bite will be a celebration of flavor!🍪❤️

Variations

Gluten-Free Option: Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend, ensuring you check that it's suitable for baking. This way, everyone can enjoy the delight of these cookies without worry! 🌾🚫

Vegan Option: Replace the butter with a vegan alternative like coconut oil or a plant-based butter. For the egg, use a flaxseed meal mixture (1 tablespoon of flaxmeal mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water) to keep it vegan while still achieving that perfect texture. 🌱🥥

Faq

  • Can I use crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy?

    Absolutely! It will add a lovely texture to your cookies and enhance the peanut flavor even more.

  • What if I don’t have baking soda?

    You can substitute baking powder, but use triple the amount (6g) to achieve the right results!

  • How can I tell when my cookies are done baking?

    Look for a golden edge and soft center; they will continue to firm up as they cool on the baking sheet.

  • Can I freeze the cookie dough?

    Yes, you can scoop out the cookie dough balls and freeze them. Just bake from frozen, adding extra time to the baking process!

  • What’s the best way to store baked cookies?

    Store them in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them fresh for several days, or in the fridge for longer freshness.

  • What alternative add-ins can I use?

    You can get creative! Consider adding nuts, dried fruits, or even different types of chocolate for a unique taste!
