Steps
Follow these simple steps to create your own batch of bakery-style thick peanut butter meltaway cookies:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the peanut butter and sugar until smooth.
3. Add the egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt to the peanut butter mixture, and mix until well combined.
4. If desired, fold in the chocolate chips gently into the cookie dough.
5. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
6. Flatten each cookie slightly with a fork, creating a crisscross pattern on top.
7. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Variations
Feel free to get creative with these cookies by trying out different variations:
– Substitute chunky peanut butter for creamy for added texture
– Mix in chopped peanuts for a crunchy twist
– Drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled cookies for a decorative touch
– Sprinkle sea salt on top before baking for a sweet and salty flavor combination
Tips
Here are some handy tips to ensure your bakery-style thick peanut butter meltaway cookies turn out perfectly:
– Make sure your peanut butter is at room temperature for easy mixing
– Do not overmix the cookie dough to prevent tough cookies
– For an extra soft texture, slightly underbake the cookies and let them cool on the baking sheet
– Store the cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent them from drying out
