Print Recipe

These Peanut Butter Cookie Bites are rich, chewy, and perfectly portioned treats that combine creamy peanut butter with a buttery cookie base, ideal for satisfying your sweet cravings in a bite-sized form.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
  7. Optionally, gently press each ball with a fork to create a crisscross pattern.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For an extra chocolatey twist, dip the cooled cookie bites halfway in melted dark chocolate and let them set before serving.
