Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped peanuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large bowl, beat together the peanut butter, softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
- Fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped peanuts until evenly distributed.
- Scoop 2-tablespoon portions of dough, roll into balls, and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving 2 inches of space between each one.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For an extra touch, sprinkle sea salt on top of the cookies before baking for a sweet-salty contrast.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- To make the cookies even thicker, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
