Ingredients

Cookies:

  • 2 tablespoon Peanut butter Smooth
  • 2 tablespoon Browned butter Unsalted, Can be replaced with regular softened butter but color of cookies would be lighter
  • 2.5 tablespoon Brown sugar
  • 1 Egg yolk From large egg, Don't use whole egg
  • ½ teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 4 tablespoon All-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon Oats Quick oats, Do not use old fashioned oats
  • ¼ teaspoon Baking soda
  • 3 tablespoon Chocolate chips Semisweet, Or chocolate chunks

Topping (Optional)

Instructions

  • In a medium-size mixing bowl, add peanut butter, browned butter, brown sugar and cream until lightly and fluffy.
  • Add egg yolk, vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  • Add flour, oats, baking soda and mix until just combined. Don't over-mix!
  • Stir in chocolate chips.
  • Please note that cookie dough should be a little sticky but if it's too wet, mix in 1 teaspoon more flour.
  • Cover and chill dough in fridge for about 20 minutes to make it easier to handle and prevent over-spreading during baking.
  • Scoop out small portions of the dough to make 5 balls.
  • Place them on a cookie tray, lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F for 10-12 minutes OR until edges are firm and cookies are golden brown and centers are slightly soft.
  • Remove from oven and let them cool in the tray. Stick a few more chocolate chips on top of the warm cookies before they cool for a beautiful appearance.
  • Optional step: When the cookies cool down completely, spread some chocolate ganache on top of each cookie and toss some pistachios and shredded coconut. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Read all my tips above.
  • Leftovers can be stored in a cookie jar at room temperature for about 3 days.
