Small Batch Peanut Butter Cookies
These quick and easy small batch peanut butter cookies are perfect for when you need just a few chewy cookies in less than 30 minutes!
Ingredients
- ¼ cup (64.5 g) creamy peanut butter not natural
- ¼ cup (56.75 g) butter melted
- ⅓ cups (73.33 g) brown sugar
- 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) vanilla
- ¼ teaspoon (0.25 teaspoon) salt
- ¼ teaspoon (0.25 teaspoon) baking soda
- ½ cups (70 g) all-purpose flour
- extra sugar for rolling
- flaked sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a cookie sheets with parchement paper.
- Place melted butter and sugars together in a small mixing bowl and stir until combined.
- Add egg yolk and vanilla and stir until smooth. Then add peanut butter and mix again.
- Slowly mix in dry ingredients, being careful not to over mix.
- Using a large cookie scoop, (I use a 4 TBSP) scoop dough into balls and place on a large cookie sheet.
- Roll cookie dough balls in granulated sugar. Sprinkle a little salt on too if you like that.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are slightly golden brown. Let cool on the cookie sheet for 5-10 minutes to help the center finish setting.
Notes
If you want to add chocolate, ⅓ cup would be the perfect amount!
These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for 2-3 days, or months in the freezer.
I like to sprinkle extra sugar on top of the cookies after they bake for an extra pretty look. And if you know me, always a little salt too!
I have given both cups and grams as measurements. Grams will be more precise, especially when measuring flour. If you don’t have a kitchen scale, no problem! Just lightly spoon flour into your measuring cup to insure its not packed in there. Light and fluffy is the key.
