Mini Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe
Description
The Mini Peanut Butter Cookie recipe starts by creaming together softened butter, shortening, creamy peanut butter, and both white and brown sugars. Eggs and vanilla extract are incorporated for moisture and flavor. Dry ingredients include all-purpose flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder, which are mixed separately before combining with the wet ingredients. Mini chocolate chips are folded into the dough to add chocolate pockets throughout the cookie.
Small portions, about half a tablespoon, of dough are scooped and placed on a baking sheet, then gently flattened with a fork in a criss-cross fashion. Baking at 350°F for 5-8 minutes yields cookies that are tender and slightly chewy with soft centers, rich peanut butter taste, and bursts of chocolate. The miniature size makes them suitable for snacking or portion control.
This recipe produces multiple small cookies ideal for sharing. The combination of butter and shortening affects the texture, contributing to softness and slight crispness at the edges. The brief baking time requires close attention to prevent overbaking but ensures moist results.
