  • Author: David
  • Total Time: 57 minutes
  • Yield: 24 cookie bites 1x

Description

Bite-sized cookies bursting with peanut butter flavor, creamy on the inside, with just the right amount of crunch. Perfect for snack lovers and peanut butter aficionados!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (125g) creamy peanut butter (plus 1/4 cup for filling)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup (30g) powdered sugar (for filling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream 1/2 cup softened butter with 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.
  5. Mix 1/4 cup peanut butter with 1/4 cup powdered sugar until smooth. Roll into small balls about the size of a marble.
  6. Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough, flatten it slightly, and place a peanut butter ball in the center. Fold the dough around the filling and roll into a ball.
  7. Arrange the cookie balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.

Notes

Chilling the dough is essential to prevent spreading and ensure soft cookies. Don’t overbake; the cookies should be slightly soft in the center when removed from the oven.
