They are sweet, chewy, full of chocolate and nuts-the perfect treat. As written the cookies come out very sweet, so feel free to reduce the sugar amount or use a sugar substitute for part of it. Ingredients:
3/4 cup sugar (see note in introduction) |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup creamy peanut butter (i used natural, no-sugar added, chunky pb) |
1 large egg, lightly beaten |
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (make sure theyre gluten and or or lactose free if thats a concern) |
1/2 cup roasted peanuts, chopped |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In a small bowl combine sugar, soda and salt.
3. In a large bowl, stir together sugar-soda-salt-mix, egg and vanilla until well combined. I used a wire whisk for this step.
4. Now add in the peanut butter, stir with a spoon til well combined and smooth.
5. Fold in chocolate chips and roasted peanut pieces.
6. With moistened hands, roll dough, about 1 heaping tablespoon at a time, into balls. Place 2 inches apart on two baking sheets.
7. Bake for about 12-14 minutes. Cookies will still be slightly soft, but firm up while cooling.
8. Allow to set on baking sheet for a couple of minutes and then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
