Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter *
- ½ cup + ⅓ cup sugar divided
- 1 egg whisked
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ¾ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F and prepare two baking trays with parchment or a nonstick baking mat.
- Combine the peanut butter, 1/2 cup sugar, egg and vanilla together until combined.
- Stir in the cocoa and salt.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Put the remaining 1/3 cup sugar to a separate small bowl.
- Using an ice cream scoop, two spoons, or your hands, scoop golf ball sized balls of cookie dough first into sugar for a roll, then onto the baking tray an inch or two apart.
- Press a fork into the dough to flatten it.
- Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the edges of the cookie feel slightly firm but the middle still looks a bit underdone.
- Let cool completely on the baking trays before enjoying.
Notes
*Sorry to all my natural peanut butter lovers out there - but it can’t really be used in this recipe. I promise - I have tried. The dough becomes all crumbly and weird, the cookies fall apart, a mess ensues. Good ol’ fashioned über processed peanut butter (like Kraft, Jif, Skippy) is the go-to here.
