Whole Wheat Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe
Description
The recipe uses whole wheat flour mixed with cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to create the dry base. Peanut butter and butter are creamed with sugars to build a smooth batter. Adding an egg and vanilla provides structure and aroma. When combined and baked at 350°F, the cookies develop a golden surface with a soft yet firm texture supporting peanut and buttery flavors. Chocolate chips enhance the taste when included.
Cookies are slightly flattened before baking, promoting even cooking and characteristic peanut butter cookie texture. Cooling on the baking sheet initially helps them set and prevents crumbling once transferred to a rack.
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup peanut butter creamy or crunchy, natural
- ½ cup butter at room temperature
- ½ cup brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream the peanut butter, butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with electric beaters. Add the egg and vanilla and beat to combine.
- Add the dry ingredients to the bowl and beat just until combined. If using, stir in the chocolate chips
- Scoop the dough using a medium-sized cookie scoop and place them on a baking sheet. Press them down slightly. If you'd like, press a couple of chocolate chips into the top.
- Bake the cookies for 12 minutes then remove the tray from the oven. Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the tray then carefully move them to a wire rack to cool completely.
