Peggi's Gigantic Melt In Your Mouth Crispy Peanut Butter Cookies

👩‍🍳 How to Make Peggi’s Gigantic Peanut Butter Cookies

1. Cream the Base

In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This step is crucial—it creates the airy texture that helps the cookies melt in your mouth.

2. Add Eggs and Vanilla

Mix in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract. Beat until everything is smooth and fully combined.

3. Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

4. Bring It All Together

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until a thick, rich dough forms.

5. Shape the Cookies

Scoop large portions of dough (about 3 tablespoons each) and roll them into balls. Place them on a lined baking sheet, leaving space between each one—they will spread.

Use a fork to gently press a crisscross pattern on top, flattening them slightly.

6. Chill for Better Texture (Optional but Recommended)

Refrigerate the dough balls for 20–30 minutes. This helps control spreading and enhances the crispy edges.

7. Bake to Perfection

Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look just set.

8. Cool and Enjoy

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a rack. This allows them to firm up while staying soft inside.

🔥 Pro Tips for the Best Results

• Don’t overbake – The cookies continue to cook slightly after you remove them from the oven.
• Use quality peanut butter – A smooth, creamy version works best for that melt-in-your-mouth texture.
• Go big or go home – Smaller cookies won’t give you the same soft-center-to-crispy-edge ratio.
• Add a twist – Toss in chocolate chips or a sprinkle of sea salt on top for extra flair.
