Delicious Peanut Butter Surprise Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
18
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup flour (all-purpose flour)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup peanut butter chips
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (optional, for extra crunch)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine peanut butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract.

    Mix until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).

    This helps to evenly distribute the baking soda.
  4. Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

    Do not overmix to keep the cookies tender.
  5. Fold in Chips and Nuts

    Gently fold in chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and chopped nuts (if using).

    Reserve some chips for topping.
  6. Scoop the Dough

    Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    Leave enough space between each cookie.
  7. Bake the Cookies

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.

    Cookies will firm up as they cool.
  8. Cool and Serve

    Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

    Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container.
