These chewy peanut butter cookies are thick and so flavorful! They are bursting with peanut butter flavor. The edges are golden chewy and the middles are soft and gooey!
Ingredients
- 1 cup cold unsalted butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar, tightly packed
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup all natural creamy peanut butter
- 2 ¾ cups flour, regular or gluten free
- 1 tbsp cornstarch, or tapioca flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 ½ cups peanut butter chips
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer, add cold butter, sugar and brown sugar. Mix until no clumps of butter remain, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add in eggs and vanilla. Stir to combine.
- Add in peanut butter. Stir to combine.
- Then, add in flour, cornstarch and baking soda. Mix until a thick dough forms.
- Fold in peanut butter chips.
- Use an ice cream scoop to scoop balls of dough onto lined pan.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden brown.
- Finally, remove from oven. Allow cookies to cool on pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack.
Notes
- Use cold butter straight from the fridge. Do not use softened or melted butter.
- Use all natural creamy peanut butter. The only ingredients should be peanuts and salt.
- Both regular all purpose flour and gluten free 1 to 1 flour work well. Do not use another flour.
- This dough is thick.
- Feel free to use chocolate chips instead of peanut butter chips if desired.
- Use an ice cream scoop to scoop dough. This ensures the balls of dough are equally sized and round.
- The cookies should be lightly golden along the edges. Do not over bake.
- Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- These cookies can be frozen.
