Add a photoThis is my favorite peanut butter cookie recipe, despite my complete willingness to flirt with other recipes. Based on King Arthur's Triple Play Peanut Butter Cookies, it is seriously peanutty, which I appreciate, and the sprinkled grey sea salt on top elevates it to new heights. Thick and chewy and just downright delicious.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks, 8 oz) unsalted butter, very softened
- 1 1/4 cups (11 7/8 oz) creamy peanut butter (I like either all natural or partially natural)
- 1 cup (8 oz) dark brown sugar
- 1 cup (7 oz) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 t vanilla extract
- 2 2/3 cups (11 1/4 oz) AP flour
- 1/2 t baking soda
- 1/2 t baking powder
- 1/2 t table salt
- 1/2 t coarse grey sea salt plus more for sprinkling
- 1 cup peanut butter chips, such as Reeces*
- 1 1/4 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone.
- Cream the butter and peanut butter together until well blended. Add the sugars and cream until blended, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Add the eggs and the vanilla and blend thoroughly. Stir in the flour and then the chips, being careful to not over-stir.
- Using a tablespoons cookie scoop, drop rounds of cookie dough onto the baking sheet--I fit 12 per sheet. Sprinkle some grey sea salt on top of each one. Bake for 11-14 minutes; the cookies are done when they are set and are just starting to brown at the edges. Remove and let cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring the cookies to a cooling rack.
- *I personally dislike nuts in baked goods from a textural perspective so I never use them, but obviously if you do like them, chopped roasted salted peanuts would sub in well here.

These look SO good, it's been years since I had peanut butter cookies - the Brits haven't really adopted them over here. Must try your recipe!
