Chunky Peanut Butter Cookies with White Chocolate Chips
Description
The recipe blends softened unsalted butter and chunky peanut butter with both light brown and granulated sugars, plus honey for added moisture and sweetness. After creaming these, an egg and vanilla extract are incorporated. Dry ingredients including all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt are sifted and gradually mixed in, avoiding overworking the dough.
White chocolate chips and chopped peanuts are folded in to add creamy sweetness and crunch. The dough is scooped and spaced on parchment-lined baking sheets, then lightly pressed with a fork to create a hashtag pattern and sprinkled with sparkling sugar for subtle sparkle.
Baking at 375°F starts with 5 minutes on one side, then the pan is rotated to ensure even browning and crisp edges while maintaining a chewy center. Cooling on the baking sheet helps set the cookies' texture. These cookies offer a balance of nutty, sweet, and crispy-chewy textures suitable for snacking or dessert.
