- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- ¾ cup dark brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp Kosher salt
- ½ cup dark chocolate melting wafers or chocolate chips
Cream the peanut butter and sugars. Preheat oven to 350°F / 175°C, then line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.. Combine 1 cup peanut butter, ¾ cup dark brown sugar, ¼ cup sugar, and ½ tsp baking soda in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment. Mix on medium until well incorporated, about 2 minutes.
Add wet ingredients. Add 1 large egg, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and ½ tsp Kosher salt, then beat well.
Bake the peanut butter cookies. Scoop out dough into equal portions with a small cookie scoop, placing dough about 2-inches apart. Roll dough into rounds, then use fork tines to create a criss cross pattern on each. Bake 8-10 minutes, then cool 5 minutes on baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack. Cool completely.
To dip in chocolate (optional): Place ½ cup chocolate wafers in a microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for 30 seconds, then stir with a spatula. Continue heating chocolate in 30 second increments, stirring until completely melted. Dip ⅓-½ of each cooled cookie into melted chocolate, then immediately add sprinkles, if wanted, before chocolate cools.
