I can offer you a few tips on how to make these White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies the softest and chewiest you’ve ever tasted.

Cream the butter until fluffy and whitened in color. Total creaming time of the butters and sugar should be about 3 minutes with a stand mixer.

If using a hand mixer, increase creaming time by a couple of minutes.

Bake the cookies until before they actually look fully baked. Which means, remove them from the oven when they look just set.

The cookies will continue to bake and set as you take them out of the oven and let them sit. If they look baked in the oven, they will be a little tough as they dry, because they will be over baked.

I like to use the best quality white chocolate for my cookies, which is why I use Callebaut Chocolates. Their white chocolate has a high percentage of cocoa butter in it.

The higher the percentage of cocoa butter in the white chocolate, the better the quality. And often times, the white chocolate chips you find at the store don’t even have any cocoa butter in them, which makes for a poor quality chocolate.

Here’s another tip when making these White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies, or any drop cookies for that matter. When you scoop the dough to form the cookies, roll it out between your hands to form a smooth ball.

The cookies will bake up nice and round.

Take a look below, the cookie in the back was just scooped, and the cookie in front was rolled.

Also, if you can, freeze the cookies for a bit before baking them. This will ensure a better structure and texture for the cookies, if the butter enters the oven in a solid state, instead of soft.

Once you freeze the cookie balls, you can place them in a ziplock bag and keep them in your freezer, and whenever you want to eat a cookie, simply pre-heat the oven, place the frozen cookie on a baking sheet, and bake it! Voila!

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened (113 grams, 4 oz)
  • 1 cup peanut butter 240 grams, 8.4 oz
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar 100 grams, 3.5 oz
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar 100 grams, 3.5 oz
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour 127 grams, 4.5 oz
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • Scoop cookies and roll them between your hands to form smooth balls if you wish to. You can simply scoop the cookies onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silicone mat instead of rolling them.
  • Place the cookies in the freezer for 15 minutes while you pre-heat the oven to 350ºF.
  • You can either bake all the cookies, by placing them spaced out, 3 inches apart in a baking sheet lined with parchment or baking mat, or bake just a few, and transfer the solid frozen cookies to a ziplock bag to bake at a later time.
  • Bake the cookies in the pre-heated oven for 8-10 minutes, until lightly golden on top.
  • Let them cool for 5 minutes.
Storage
  • The unbaked cookies will last for up to 2 months in the freezer, in a ziplock bag or air tight container.

    I am confused by this recipe. I followed all of the directions. After I removed them from the freezer I put them in the oven. They stayed in the ball shape while baking for 8 minutes. It didn’t say anything about flattening them. I flattened them and put them in for five more minutes. They are still underbaked. I will see what happens after they stay in the oven longer.
