Peanut Butter Gelt Cookies Ingredients :

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate gelt or chocolate chips (for topping)

How to make Peanut Butter Gelt Cookies :

1

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2

Cream Butter and Peanut Butter: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and peanut butter until smooth. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar, and beat until fluffy.

3

Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

4

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

5

Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.

6

Shape and Bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently press a piece of chocolate gelt or a few chocolate chips into the center of each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

7

Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Recipe Notes:

Texture: These cookies are soft and chewy with a rich peanut butter flavor, complemented by the sweetness of the chocolate gelt.

Chocolate Gelt: If you don’t have gelt, you can use chocolate chips or chunks as an alternative.

Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
