Ingredients:
- 1 cup brown sugar

- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup salted peanuts
- 3/4 cup candy-coated chocolate pieces
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking these delightful jumbles.
-
-
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat together the brown sugar, margarine, and creamy peanut butter until the mixture is light and fluffy, creating a creamy base for your cookies.
-
Add Vanilla and Egg: Once the mixture is smooth, add in the vanilla extract and egg, blending everything together until well incorporated.
-
Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Stir in the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and baking soda into the wet mixture, ensuring that all ingredients are thoroughly combined to form a cohesive dough.
-
Add Peanuts and Candy: Now, it’s time to add the star ingredients! Gently fold in the salted peanuts and candy-coated chocolate pieces, distributing them evenly throughout the dough for a deliciously textured cookie.
-
Shape and Arrange: Using a rounded tablespoon, drop the dough onto ungreased cookie sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
-
Bake to Perfection: Place the cookie sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 6 to 10 minutes, or until the cookies are light golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-browning.
-
Cool and Enjoy: Once baked to perfection, remove the cookies from the oven and immediately transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Allow them to cool for a few minutes before indulging in their irresistible goodness.
These Peanut and Candy Jumbles are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, with their warm, chewy centers and crispy edges offering a delightful contrast of textures. Whether you’re treating yourself to a sweet snack or sharing them with friends and family, these cookies are sure to be a hit!
