These irresistible Peanut Butter Crackle Cookies are one of our personal favorite recipes. They combine the rich, creamy flavors of peanut butter with a dark, decadent chocolate center. Depending on the occasion you can switch up the ingredients. If you're looking for a more...edible...experience, we would recommend using one of our hive & mind chocolates in place of the Hershey's Kiss. Happy Baking!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Hershey Kisses or Hive&Mind Chocolate (for an infused treat)
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375ºF.
2. In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
3. In a large bowl, mix butter and peanut butter until well blended. Mix in sugars until smooth. Then, beat in the egg and vanilla.
4. Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet mixture and combine until well mixed.
5. Shape dough into 1-inch balls, roll in granulated sugar, and place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
6. Bake cookies for 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and quickly press chocolate firmly on top of each cookie. The cookie should begin to crackle around the edges.
7. Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool for about 15 minutes and enjoy!
