Making spicy peanut butter cookies seemed like a good plan. And it was. It’s also a sleeper hit for groups of chileheads who want a little different kick with their snacking.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp CaJohn's Frostbite
Servings: cookies
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In an electric mixer, mix the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Add the peanut butter and continue mixing until well combined, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined. Slowly add in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Scoop two tablespoons of dough to form each cookie. Roll the scoops into balls and place on lined cookie sheets. Press down on each ball of dough with a fork in a criss-cross pattern to form the cookies. Leave a bit of space between each one.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the tops are set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack for cooling.
