Sometimes the body’s need for a sweet treat requires nothing more than to meet its demands. This is where this recipe for a singular big ass cookie comes in handy. I say big ass cookie because this could easily have been made into two, but alas, when your body has needs you might as well go all in. You could eat half & save the other, but honestly, I can’t begin to even fathom the idea…

Ingredients:

2 tbsp brown sugar

1 tbsp granulated sugar

2 tbsp butter, melted

1 tbsp peanut butter

2 tsp scoop of peanut butter, frozen

1/4 tsp vanilla extract

1 tbsp of a whole whisked egg

Pinch of salt

1/4 tsp baking soda

5 tbsp flour

2 tbsp chocolate chips, divided

Preparation:

Using a 2 tsp cookie scoop, scoop out peanut butter onto a piece of parchment paper and place in freezer.

Preheat oven to 350° F degrees.

In a small bowl, melt the 2 tablespoons of butter & whisk in 1 tablespoon peanut butter until smooth. Add 2 tablespoons brown sugar & 1 tablespoon granulated sugar; mix well. Beat in a 1/4 tsp vanilla extract & 1 tablespoon of whole whisked egg. Sprinkle the baking soda over the mixture & stir in 5 tablespoons of flour until just combined. Fold in 1 1/2 tablespoon chocolate chips, reserving some for once the cookie is assembled.

Remove the frozen peanut butter scoop from the freezer. Divide the dough in half & place the frozen peanut butter scoop between the two halves; seal together. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet, press remaining chocolate chips on top/ sides of the dough ball & bake for 11-12 minutes.

Allow to sit on the baking sheet for several minutes.

Pour yourself a tall glass of milk & enjoy!

I ate this right off the pan & had to use a fork once I got to the pool of melted peanut butter 😋

Luckily, I remembered to snap a picture before I ate it all. I may have ruined my dinner tonight, but it was worth it 😉

Note: In the video, she says you can also bake in the air fryer. Preheat air fryer to 325° F & bake for 10 minutes. I made mine in the oven.
