Easy Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
These chocolate peanut butter cookies are one of the easiest to make, are so indulgent and rich with fudgy centres, and simply irresistible to eat.
Servings 16 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 cup 250g peanut butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon bicarbonate soda
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- ¾ cup peanut butter chips*
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, lightly whisk egg. Add in brown sugar and continue to mix until combined.
- Add in peanut butter and vanilla and continue to whisk until everything comes together. You may find it easier to switch to a spatula during this step.
- Using the spatula, mix through bicarbonate soda and cocoa powder until mixture comes together as dough. Add in peanut butter chips and stir until evenly mixed through.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon balls of mixture and place onto the baking sheet. Lightly press down each ball with the back of the spoon. Bake for 10 minutes. Cookies will still be soft when removed from oven but will continue to firm up as they cool. Press a few extra peanut butter chips into the top of cookies when they come out of the oven if desired.
Notes
*I was able to find Reese's Peanut Butter Chips at Woolworths, however if you are struggling to find them, any chocolate chips would be a fine and delicious replacement. Also you could just leave them out completely if you wanted.
