Servings: 22 cookies
Calories: 182kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup salted butter, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ⅔ cup natural peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose unbleached flour
- 15 Oreos
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a large bowl combine the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.
- Add the peanut butter and egg and combine.
- Add the vanilla extract, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and flour and combine.
- Add the Oreos to a sturdy quart or gallon-sized plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. Add the Oreos to the dough and stir to combine.
- Scoop 2 tablespoons worth of dough for each cookie. If there are extra loose Oreo cookie crumbs at the bottom of the bowl that aren’t already incorporated into the dough you can press them into the tops of the cookies. Flatten the cookies slightly.
- Bake at 375°F for 8 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool fully before removing them from the baking sheet.
Notes
Peanut Butter Cookie Baking Tips
- Flatten Slightly: Peanut butter cookies do not spread as easily as say chocolate chip cookies do. To avoid poofy peanut butter cookies, flatten the balls of dough slightly with a spoon, fork, or your hand (anything) before baking. Those fork indentations on traditional peanut butter cookies have more than an aesthetic purpose!
- Baking Time: Peanut butter cookies need less time on average in the oven than other cookies. Bake them for slightly less time for a softer cookie (8 minutes instead of 10 minutes).
- Cooling: Allow the cookies to fully cool on the baking sheet before transferring them. As they cool the sugar helps to bind the cookies together better. Once they are fully cool they are much more sturdy and much less likely to fall apart when moved.
