Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Finishing

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, egg, and baking soda. Mix thoroughly until a smooth dough forms. For additional flavor, you can stir in vanilla extract if desired.
  2. Add chocolate chips: Fold the chocolate chips evenly into the dough to distribute them well throughout the batter.
  3. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to fully preheat while you prepare the cookie sheet.
  4. Shape and bake: Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still appear soft.
  5. Cool and dust: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, generously dust the tops with powdered sugar to achieve the classic muddy buddy look and a sweet finish.

Notes

  • Ensure not to overbake the cookies to maintain a soft and chewy texture.
  • For a crunchier cookie, extend baking time by 1-2 minutes but watch carefully.
  • If you prefer, substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter for a different nutty flavor.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
