Muddy Buddy Cookies
Description
This recipe begins by creaming softened butter and peanut butter together with granulated sugars, vanilla, and an egg until smooth. A dry mix of flour, salt, and baking soda is incorporated gradually to form a soft cookie dough. The dough is rolled into tablespoon-sized balls, coated in sugar, then baked at 350°F until lightly golden and cracked.
After baking, the cookies are gently pressed to slightly flatten them while still warm, then cooled on racks. Once cooled, melted milk chocolate chips are applied to the tops to add a creamy chocolate layer that complements the peanut butter base. A light dusting of powdered sugar finishes the look and adds subtle sweetness.
The result is a tender cookie with crisp edges, a cracked top, and a balanced peanut butter and chocolate flavor profile. These cookies are ideal as sweet treats or snacks that combine familiar flavors with an appealing cracked texture.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar plus to roll cookie balls in
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar to Sprinkle tops of Cookies
Instructions
- In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, mix the Butter, Peanut Butter, Sugar, and Brown Sugar, until creamy and smooth. Add the Vanilla, and Egg, and blend well.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, salt, and baking soda until well combined. Add the mixing bowl, and blend between additions. Mix until smooth dough forms.
- Line a Cookie Sheet with Parchment paper, and set the oven to 350 degrees.
- Roll the dough into Tablespoon size balls, and roll in sugar, then place on the Parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, or until cookies have turned golden brown, and have begun to crack . Remove the cookie sheet from the oven, and gently smash the cookies, with the bottom of a flat glass, pushing the center in slightly. Leave cookies on cookie sheet for about 5 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
- When all cookies have been baked, place the Chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl, and melt the chocolate chips at 15 second intervals, stirring between, until chocolate chips are melted. Spoon melted chocolate into the center of each cookie, and let cookies sit for about an hour, until chocolate begins to set.
- Once chocolate is set in the center of the cookies, sprinkle the powdered Sugar over the cookies. Serve, and Enjoy!
