Calories: 249kcal
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups creamy or smooth peanut butter
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup white chocolate chips, plus more for the tops
Instructions
- In a large bowl combine brown sugar, granulated sugar, and salt.
- Add the peanut butter and mix well.
- Beat in eggs and vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Gently fold in the white chocolate chips.
- Cover tightly with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Line baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat.
- Drop 2 heaping tablespoon balls of dough onto the baking sheet (10 - 12 per sheet).
- Roll, flatten, and shape into cookies. Space them evenly apart.
- Dot the tops with more white chocolate chips.
- Bake for 11 -12 minutes until the edges are set and centers soft and under baked.
- Allow cookies to cool and firm up on the baking sheet for 20 minutes before removing. *Wire rack not necessary.
Notes
- How long will the dough keep in the fridge? 4 – 5 days.
- Do not bake the room temperature dough. Since there is no flour, this dough becomes really mushy and oily when heated.
- Do not bake the cookies on a bare baking sheet. They may stick and the bottoms may burn.
- Do not flatten the dough balls too thin. Super thin cookies will be crispy and crunchy.
- Do these cookies spread? Yes, they do, but only a little. They don’t double in size.
- Do not remove the cookies from the baking sheet while they are still hot. They will be too soft and will inevitably fall apart.
- Use a spatula or a similar kitchen utensil to move the cookies off the baking sheet, if needed.
