These delightful cookies combine the rich flavors of chocolate and peanut butter, creating a heavenly chewy and fudgy treat perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
For the Cookie Dough
- 113 g unsalted butter, melted
- 150 g white sugar
- 1 large chilled egg
- 1 tbsp neutral-flavored oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp fine sea salt
- 45 g Dutch-process cocoa powder, sifted if needed
- 0.5 tsp baking powder
- 112 g all-purpose flour
- 128 g peanut butter baking chips
- Flaky sea salt, for topping
Instructions
Preparation
- Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare two baking trays with parchment paper and place the racks near the center of the oven.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter with the sugar until fully blended.
- Add the cold egg, oil, vanilla, and fine salt. Whisk until the mixture becomes smooth and glossy.
- Stir in the cocoa powder, then mix in the baking powder.
- Fold in the flour and peanut butter chips until the dough is evenly combined with no dry spots remaining.
Baking
- Scoop the dough into 18 portions and arrange them evenly on the baking sheets.
- Finish with a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
- Bake for 9–11 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through, until the tops develop small cracks while the centers stay soft and fudgy.
- Allow the cookies to cool directly on the baking trays before serving.
Notes
For the best results, use high-quality cocoa powder and do not overmix after adding the flour. The cookies can be served warm, paired with milk or ice cream.
