Soft And Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe

I am back with yet another cookie recipe, this time with peanut butter. I hope you’ve already tried out our Strawberry cheesecake cookies and oreo cheesecake cookies, both of which we released last week.
These chewy peanut butter cookies have a perfectly soft center with crispy edges, and the crunch of peanuts on top is like a cherry on top!

This recipe is easy to make and requires just a few ingredients.

I personally love munching on peanut butter, like every day. And these cookies do justice to my love for peanut butter.

This recipe uses flour, butter, eggs, my favorite peanut butter, castor sugar, and brown sugar for the chewiness.
And unlike the classic peanut butter cookie with a cross-hatch pattern on top, I have used peanuts as a garnish for that extra nuttiness and, of course, a different look!


Even if you are not a big peanut butter fan, I bet you won’t be able to resist having a bite of these peanut butter cookies with a warm cup of milk! The nutty flavor, the crunchy peanuts, and the aroma when just fresh out of the oven are so tempting!

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • It’ easy to make: This recipe has no fancy ingredients and is easy to make. You can complete it in 40 minutes, from start to finish!
  • Texture: These cookies have a soft center with crisp edges. And the nuttiness and crunchiness of the peanuts on top are such a treat to the mouth.
  • Flavor: This recipe’s subtle yet significant flavor of peanut butter is a hit!

Important Ingredients In Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies

  • Brown sugar: The molasses in brown sugar gives this recipe a chewy texture.
  • Castor sugar: Along with color, castor sugar helps achieve a crisp texture in the cookie.
  • Peanut butter: I am using creamy peanut butter in this recipe, but you can also use crunchy peanut butter. It adds tenderness to the cookies as well as flavor. 

How To Make These Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies

1. Combine both kinds of butter: Place the softened salted butter and peanut butter together in a large bowl. Mix both kinds of butter until they turn smooth.

2. Add the sugars & cream: Now add in both the sugars, i.e., castor sugar and brown sugar, to the smooth butter mixture and start creaming until the mixture turns pale and fluffy.

3. Add egg & vanilla essence: Once the butter turns pale and fluffy, add the egg and vanilla essence and mix again.

4. Sift the dry ingredients: Now we’ll sift in the remaining dry ingredients, i.e., all-purpose flour and baking powder, and combine to form a dough.

5. Divide & shape: Divide the cookie dough into 40 g balls. Place the balls on a lined baking tray and flatten them a bit. Now garnish the cookies with some peanuts on top.

6. Freeze: Now freeze the cookies for 15 – 20 minutes before baking. This step will ensure that the cookies do not spread too much while baking.

7. Bake: Once the cookies are out of the refrigerator, bake them in a preheated oven at 180°C (OTG MODE: upper rod + lower rod + fan) for 12 – 15 minutes or until the cookies turn golden brown in color.

Our cookies are now ready! Let them cool down, and then enjoy them with a warm cup of milk.

Chef Tips For The Recipe

Make sure the ingredients are at room temperature: Make sure to use room-temperature butter for the creaming process rather than cold or warm butter, as we want to trap as much air as possible. If you have kept eggs in the fridge, take them out and put them in a glass of water before using them.

Use good quality peanut butter: Make sure you are using good quality peanut butter for the recipe, as it will affect the texture and flavor of the cookies. I am using Pintola’s Peanut butter for this recipe; you can also use Fun Foods. For a healthier version, you can also try using My Fitness Peanut and Butter.

Freeze the cookies: A very important step or your cookies will spread too much while baking because of the fat content.

How To Store These Cookies

Once the cookies have cooled, cling and wrap them in an airtight box. Do not leave them open, as they will absorb the moisture from the surroundings and get moist or too soft.

“I achieved 10% of my short-term manifestation before my target date”
Before this program I knew a little about manifestations, but as I discovered during the program, I had a lot of limiting beliefs that kept me from fully embracing and accepting myself as a manifestor.
During this program I became more aware of what manifestation is and how powerful I am. I become more aware of my guides, of my highest self and that I can pull the best of my highest self into my present. Since this program I no longer wrestle with trying to convince myself that what I desire will happen. I know that it has happened, it is done and it is mine, here and now. I achieved 10% of my short-term manifestation before my target date, my eyesight has improved and I no longer need glasses for distance vision, only for reading, I gave myself a make-over as part of my commitment to my renewal and I began to de-clutter my space.

“My professional and personal life has seen significant positive changes”
Joining “The Art of Manifesting” was a life-changing decision for me. This is now the third time going through the quest and focusing on different areas of manifestation.
Regan is a powerful guide and she walks the talk.
This 28-day journey was a blend of practical techniques and profound energetical activations. I learned to visualize my goals clearly, expand my possibilities, and overcome the limitations holding me back from living a life i desire. The quest’s unique approach to identity hacking helped me align my inner self with my aspirations, making the manifestation process more effective and authentic.
The biggest takeaway for me was the acceleration of manifestation by bending time and tapping into the highest frequencies. The techniques taught in the quest enabled me to see results much faster than I expected. My professional and personal life has seen significant positive changes, and goals that once seemed unattainable are now within reach.
I’m beyond grateful for the wisdom and tools I’ve gained from this quest and Regan. It’s not just about manifesting; it’s about transforming your entire lifestyle. I highly recommend “The Art of Manifesting” to anyone looking to turn their dreams into reality.

“This course and listening to Regan’s podcasts gave me the tools to acknowledge my blocks and mindsets around drinking”
I have so enjoyed this journey with Regan, I am a new person as a result of this quest. I now have new beliefs & mindsets that I keep working on daily, hourly. A kinder and more compassionate version of me has emerged over this journey, and I love her!
This quest has resulted in me finding the lost me, the me that has been hidden under the voices of doubt, fear or just lack of awareness that I get to run my life not the other voices in my head or family and people around me. When we wire ourselves to the future version of us, then we make different choices and we are already a different person!
Thank you Regan, thank you Mindvalley, thank you tribe!!!! ❤❤, I love you all and wish you a magical Christmas and hope our paths may cross one day at Mindvalley events.

“My family’s net income unexpectedly increased while I was taking the quest”
Before taking this Quest I believed that the prerequisites of success were hard work, long hours, timing and a degree of luck; “1% inspiration and 99% perspiration” was my mantra. Trying to achieve success with this mindset was exhausting, frustrating and unsustainable.

 

I then discovered The Art of Manifesting … and was blown away.

 

The foundational teaching of focusing on your inner world to achieve has been transformative in the way I live my life. I now know that cultivating the feeling of already being in possession of that which you want, accelerates the manifestation of what you desire.

 

My family’s net income unexpectedly increased while I was taking the quest, and have discovered a path to manifest greater abundance in the year to come. But perhaps the biggest shift I experienced during this quest now knowing that I am worthy and deserving of abundance. Regan, I am eternally grateful to you, thank you :-)

“Now, my manifestation is showing up right before my eyes in ways I hadn’t even considered”
Before this program, I believed somewhat in manifestation but never knew how to do it, or if it was real, and the little bit I did know ended up being completely wrong! This Quest has not only taught me how to manifest and put me on the path to doing it the right way, but I was actually able to manifest what I had set at the beginning.
I never thought it would actually come true, but I committed myself to the process and gave it 100% every day. And now, my manifestation is showing up right before my eyes in ways I hadn’t even considered. It’s truly blowing my mind.
I had a financial goal for the end of the Quest, and different opportunities for selling my artwork started coming up, and the deals are coming out almost to the exact number I had set.
Not only that, but I have truly transformed into a better version of myself in these short weeks, more than I had in the last few years, that my spouse has even noticed.
I’m so excited for what’s to come next and so grateful for this program. Thank you.

“I have written a 50,000-word book, that is now in design”
I joined Mindvalley on New Year’s 2023. I am excited to share how life has significantly changed in the first 90 days of the year. Beginning with the Silva Method, I envisioned and transformed a dysfunctional personal relationship, into a loving, caring separation, allowing me the peace and serenity to follow my path, and my partner to choose his. In February while on the Art of Manifesting Quest I listed my intent to have a book written by May 2023, and have a speaking engagement booked by December 2023.
I have written a 50,000-word book, that is now in design, and a journal for Women seeking a deeper connection with themselves, also in design. Both will be uploaded via KDP Amazon self-publishing by May 1st.
I have booked a speaking engagement for May with the intent of having published books with me for sale.
Most importantly – this morning I changed my profile from ‘Document writer’ to ‘Author.’
Gratitude abounds!!!
