These delicious thin peanut butter cookies are packed with flavours and they melt in your mouth.
These cookies come in different thicknesses and softness. It all depends on what we add to the recipe to give the extra kick! These Thin Peanut Butter Cookies are not the typical peanut butter cookies; they are thin yet soft.
About This Recipe
- These cookies, just like their name, are very thin and light and make a perfect snack.
- This recipe calls for the basic ingredients used in most cookie recipes, including flour, egg, leavener, butter, brown and granulated sugar.
- The peanut butter can be smooth, creamy, or crunchy with chunks of peanuts. If you use a chunky one, cookies will be extra crunchy. Peanut butter has a unique nutty flavour that makes these cookies exceptionally delicious.
- One ingredient that makes the cookies extra soft and flavourful is Molasses. Molasses makes these Thin Peanut Butter Cookies super soft and chewy. Any cookie recipe that uses molasses has the benefit of being soft and flavorful.
- These cookies are topped with a few chopped peanuts to add a crunch.
- This cookie dough does not require chilling 🙂
How To Make These Thin Peanut Butter Cookies
- Unlike most cookie recipes, we must melt the butter, let it cool down, add sugars, and mix afterwards.
- Next, add the vanilla extract and eggs, mixing until combined. We are not trying to aerate the batter.
- In the end, add the peanut butter and molasses and mix well. The mixture is light brown, smooth, and thick.
- Sift the dry ingredients and add to the mixture.
- Scoop the dough onto the lined baking tray and top it with chopped peanuts.
