Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Bites
These peanut butter chocolate chip cookie bites are as delicious as they are cute! Crusty on the outside and chewy on the inside, they are texture perfect.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Total Time 22 minutes
Servings 48 Cookie Bites
Ingredients
- 10 tablespoons (1 stick + 2 tablespoons) butter melted and slightly cooled
- ⅓ cup + 1 tablespoon (4 ounces) creamy peanut butter
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 ¼ cup (9.4 ounces) light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 ⅔ cups (8.3 ounces) all purpose flour
- 1 ⅔ cups (10 ounces) chocolate chips any kid: dark, milk, semisweet, mini, etc.
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 325 degrees (or 300 degrees convection bake). Spray a nonstick 48-count mini muffin pan (or two 24-count pans) with cooking spray and set aside.
-
In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter, peanut butter, salt and baking soda together. Add the brown sugar and mix well. Whisk in the egg and vanilla until combined.
-
Add the flour, folding it into the wet ingredients with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. When just a few streaks of flour remain, add the chocolate chips and mix until combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
-
Divide the dough evenly between the 48-mini muffin tins. I like to use a #60 mini cookie scoop for this.
-
Bake cookie bites in preheated oven for 12-14 minutes or just until lightly brown and starting to crackle on the top and slightly firm around the edges. Do not overbake. Cool to room temperature then carefully remove cookie bites by slipping a plastic knife around the sides to pop them out.
Recipe Notes
- I have made these cookies both with a natural type peanut butter (made from ground peanuts that I grind myself) and the regular creamy peanut butter from the store. Both work just fine.
