How To Make Stovetop Cookies Recipe
Description
The Stovetop Cookies recipe uses peanut butter, butter, brown and white sugars, eggs, vanilla, oats, baking soda, salt, chocolate chips, and M&M’s. After mixing and chilling the dough to firm it up, cookie balls are flattened and cooked over very low heat in a non-stick pan covered with a lid. This slow cooking technique allows the cookies to bake through gently without burning, producing a soft, chewy cookie texture dotted with melted chocolate and candy pieces.
The low heat and covered pan method substitutes for baking, suitable when access to an oven is limited. The recipe yields cookies with distinct peanut butter flavor and a combination of chocolate chips and candy for varied sweetness and texture.
These cookies can also be baked conventionally in a 350°F (180°C) oven for 12-14 minutes to achieve a more classic baked texture.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup (6oz/170g) peanut butter
- 1/4 cup (2oz/57g) butter at room temperature
- 3/4 cup (4 ½ oz/128g) brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (2oz/57g) sugar
- 2 egg at room temperature, small
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups (7 1/2oz/213g) old fashioned oats
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (3oz/85g) chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup (3oz/85g) M&M’s candy
Notes
- Chilling the dough for at least one hour is essential to handle it properly and ensure even stovetop cooking.
- To bake instead of cook on stovetop, place cookies in a 350°F (180°C) oven for 12-14 minutes until set and lightly golden.
