Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup Nestle’ Peanut Butter Morsels
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Prepare your baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper or silicone baking mats for easy cleanup.
-
Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set this dry mixture aside for later use.
-
Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the mixture on medium speed until light and creamy, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes.
-
Add Egg: Once the butter and sugar mixture is creamy, add the egg to the bowl. Continue beating until the egg is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
-
Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
-
Fold in Peanut Butter Morsels: Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold in the Nestle’ Peanut Butter Morsels until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Form Cookie Dough: Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
-
Bake Cookies: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 7 to 9 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Be sure not to overbake to maintain a soft and chewy texture.
-
Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. Once cooled, enjoy these delectable Peanut Butter Plunge Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage.
-
Storage: Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
-
Enjoy! These cookies will delight your taste buds with their perfect balance of peanut butter flavor and soft, chewy texture. Share them with friends and family, or savor them all to yourself for a truly indulgent treat!
