# Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies

Recipe Index Desserts Cookies Best Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies Best Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies by Sarah | Broma Bakery Looking for the perfect chewy peanut butter cookie recipe ? Look no further. These chewy peanut butter cookies have a tender and soft center with a chewy, crisp exterior and, obviously , they’re packed full of nutty flavor. The Best Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies I think we can all agree that peanut butter cookies are one of the most classic dessert recipes you can serve up. If I had to pick one dessert category to eat forever it would easily be cookies. Brown butter chocolate chip cookies , cut out sugar cookies , crinkle cookies, oatmeal cookies…they’re versatile, flavorful, and super easy to make. And peanut butter cookies are undeniably one of the absolute best cookies you can make. But there is one caveat: peanut butter cookie recipes are allllll over the place. I have made SO many subpar peanut butter cookies on the hunt for the pb cookie of my dreams. You know the type: thick (not too thick), chewy on the edges with a sugar coated exterior, soft in the middle, crackled top, NOT dry, and full of peanut butter flavor. So many recipes end up crumbly, dry and tasting like a sugar cookie with just a hint of peanut butter flavor. But say goodbye to the sad cookies of your past because these soft peanut butter cookies are perfect. Ingredients for Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies Like most cookie recipes, these soft peanut butter cookies require minimal ingredients and come together in a pinch. Cookies are one of the best things to make because they’re versatile, easily shared, freezer friendly, and super easy to make. Butter Peanut Butter White Sugar Brown Sugar Eggs Vanilla Flour Baking Soda What kind of peanut butter should you use to make peanut butter cookies We tested this recipe with a few different types of peanut butter, and we found a natural creamy peanut butter produced the best results! Some peanut butters have tons of additives and filler which can lead to a dry cookie. Go for one that’s just peanuts and salt to make sure you get the right consistency. If all you have is a thicker, less natural peanut butter you can add an additional Tablespoon of milk to thin out the batter a little bit! Tips for the best soft peanut butter cookies Make sure every single ingredient is at room temperature: When baking and mixing fats (peanut butter and butter in this case), it’s important to keep everything at the same temperature to make sure that no splitting or curdling occurs. This will ensure a smooth batter that beats together seamlessly. Don’t forget to coat them in sugar: I know this seems like an unimportant step, but a light sugar exterior will give you the perfect crunchy edge and a little extra sweetness to this perfectly salty-sweet recipe. Do NOT over bake the cookies: Under absolutely no circumstances should you ever over bake a peanut butter cookie. When you take the cookies out of the oven, the middles should still be raw. The cookies will continue to bake as they cool and settle into that perfectly chewy in the center texture. Mix it up this week and swap out those chocolate chip cookies and milk for chewy peanut butter cookies and milk! Happy baking 🙂 Print Ingredients Units US M 1/4 cup unsalted butter , room temperature 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter 1/4 cup white sugar + more for rolling 1 cup brown sugar 1 egg + 1 egg yolk 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 cup all purpose flour 3/4 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon sea salt (plus more for sprinkling the tops) Instructions Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper .
