Peanut butter Chocolate Chip Cookies



These are the best peanut butter cookies ever, and what's more, the yield is surprisingly large- this one-egg recipe is enough for around 30 cookies, depending on the size you make them. They also freeze really well (just leave out for a few hours to defrost or gently microwave).





Recipe from Smitten Kitchen


Peanut butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:
110g unsalted butter
270g peanut butter
150g caster sugar
100g soft light brown sugar
1 egg
1tbsp milk
1tsp vanilla extract
200g plain flour
¾ tsp bicarbonate of soda
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
170g milk chocolate chunks/chips

caster sugar, for dusting


Method:
1. Pre heat the oven to 180°C/ 350F/Gas 4. Line a baking trays with baking paper.

  1. Hi

    I just came to your blog from the Smitten Kitchen one as I was looking for this recipe converted into grams. Can I ask what changes you've made to the recipe and why? I notice you use a lot more flour and peanut butter than the original.
    Thanks for your help!

    1. Hi Abby,
      I haven't actually made any significant changes to the recipe- I use the King Arthur Weight Chart (http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipe/master-weight-chart.html) to convert the volumes into weights. The proportions are all the same as the original, but some have tiny amounts rounded up/down.

      Thanks
