  • Author: Jocelyn Brown

Description

Soft, chewy and delicious, these Peanut Butter Christmas Cookies are just the right salty-sweet cookies you and your family will love! 


Ingredients

Scale

½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature 

½ cup creamy peanut butter 

½ cup granulated sugar

½ cup light brown sugar

1 egg, room temperature

½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, sifted

½ teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon kosher salt

2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

2 teaspoon vegetable oil

3 tablespoons holiday sprinkles


Instructions

  1. Prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 375°F. 
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk 1 ¼ cups sifted all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon kosher salt until combined.
  3. Using a hand mixer and a large mixing bowl, cream ½ cup room temperature unsalted butter and ½ cup creamy peanut butter. Add ½ cup granulated sugar and ½ cup brown sugar and continue to cream. Next, add 1 egg and ½ teaspoon of pure vanilla extract and continue to mix until the dough is fluffy. Now slowly add the contents of the dry ingredient bowl and mix until combined. Be sure to scrape down the sides again.
  4. Using a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop, make a cookie ball and place them on the prepared cookie sheet.  Using a fork, gently press them flat, keeping the round shape intact. Bake for 10 – 12 minutes. Remove from the oven, place on a cooling rack, and allow to cool until completely cool.
  5. Using a small mixing bowl, melt 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips in the microwave, beginning for 1 minute, then for 30-second increments until the chocolate has melted completely. Stir between each interval.
  6. Dip each cookie halfway in the melted chocolate. Set each dipped cookie on parchment paper and sprinkle with your favorite holiday sprinkles. Allow chocolate-dipped cookies to set for 1 hour. 
  7. Serve and ENJOY!
