Let’s make these easy peanut butter cookies!

I love to make peanut butter at home. I use it in baking and for peanut butter sandwiches. In a food processor, place 10 oz dry roasted, salted peanuts and puree for around 5 minutes. It will be really creamy when ready to go. You can absolutely use store bought peanut butter too!

Crack open your egg in a mixing bowl, add your sugar. Mix with a wire whisk until nice and pale. Will be slightly foamy as well. Combine this mixture with the peanut butter and mix thoroughly until fully incorporated.

Using a digital scale to weigh out to cookie dough to ensure equal sized cookies.

I like to weigh the peanut butter out and divide it into equal balls for the cookies. You can eyeball this part if you don’t have a scale. Try to get them as close as possible so that they bake evenly. Place on a parchment line baking sheet and bake 325 F for 15 minutes.

Let cool slightly after cookies are done baking. While the cookies are still a little bit soft, I like to garnish with some chocolate. I am showing halloween shaped chocolate, but Hershey’s kisses work well too! Gently press into the cookie and cool for 1 hour on the counter top.

Enjoy!
