Ingredients
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
– 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
– 1/2 cup salted butter, softened
– 1 large egg
– 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– Additional granulated sugar for rolling
– Approximately 36 unwrapped milk chocolate candies
Instructions
1-Begin by preheating the oven to 375°F and preparing your baking sheets.
2-Then, in a large bowl, beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, peanut butter, softened butter, and egg until well blended this creates a smooth base for your dough.
3-Next, stir in the flour, baking soda, and baking powder until the dough forms, making sure it’s evenly mixed.
4-Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and roll each one in additional granulated sugar for that classic crinkled top.
5-Place the balls on ungreased cookie sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
6-Bake one sheet at a time for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges turn light golden brown.
7-Immediately after baking, press one milk chocolate candy into the center of each hot cookie to secure it in place.
8-Finally, move the cookies to a cooling rack and let them cool for about 1 hour until the chocolate sets, allowing the flavors to meld perfectly.
