Description
These peanut butter cookie bites are small, soft, and packed with nutty flavor. They bake up golden at the edges with a tender, slightly chewy center and a warm peanut aroma.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a nonstick baking mat.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, baking soda, salt, and egg. Mix well until the dough forms and looks smooth and slightly glossy. If using chocolate chips, fold them in gently.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough and roll them into balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet spaced about 1.5 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly with a fork.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are golden and the centers look set. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 3–5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth dough. Chill the dough if it spreads too much. You can customize by using almond butter or adding oats.
