Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Stand Mixer or Handheld Blender
  • Cookie Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Microwave-safe Bowl

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1/2 teaspoon canola or vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°. Prepare a cookie sheet by lining with parchment paper or spraying with cooking spray.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, or use a handheld blender, blend together the butter, peanut butter, sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and light in color. Add in egg and blend to combine.
  • In a separate bowl, add the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Stir with a wire whisk. Add to the wet ingredients and blend just until combined.
  • Shape into 1 inch balls and place on cookie sheet. You can fit 15 to each cookie sheet because they won’t spread much at all.
  • Bake 8 minutes. Immediately after cooking, take a small cup and gently press down on the cookie. This will flatten them as well as give those pretty crinkly edges.
  • Let cookies cool on cookie sheet for 10 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • Once cooled, melt chocolate chips and canola oil in microwave-safe bowl for 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds.
  • Immediately use a spoon and place a small amount of chocolate onto each cookie and spread around.
  • Let chocolate set and cool completely (about 2 hours) before dusting with powdered sugar. To speed up the chocolate cooling and hardening, place cookies in the fridge or the freezer.
