Storage and Freshness Tips

To keep your Triple Peanut Butter Cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They can last for up to a week, but we doubt they’ll stick around that long! If you want to enjoy them longer, consider freezing the cookies. Just make sure to layer them between parchment paper to prevent sticking, and store them in a freezer-safe bag or container.

When ready to enjoy, simply thaw them at room temperature or pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to warm them up. This way, you can savor the rich peanut butter flavor whenever the craving strikes!

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Add Dry Ingredients

Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined. Fold in the chopped peanuts and chocolate chips.

Shape Cookies

Using a tablespoon, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Enjoy your freshly baked cookies!

Variations to Try

While the classic version of these cookies is undeniably delicious, there are plenty of ways to customize your Triple Peanut Butter Cookies. For a twist, consider adding a swirl of caramel or a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking. This will give your cookies an extra layer of flavor that will tantalize your taste buds.

You can also experiment with different types of chocolate, such as dark or white chocolate chips, to suit your personal preferences. For a healthier option, substitute some of the granulated sugar with honey or maple syrup for a unique sweetness that complements the peanut butter beautifully.

Baking Tips for Success

To ensure the best results when making your Triple Peanut Butter Cookies, make sure to measure your ingredients accurately. Using a kitchen scale can help you achieve the perfect ratios for a consistent texture and flavor. Additionally, do not overmix the dough after adding the flour; this can lead to tougher cookies.

Another tip is to let your dough rest for about 10 minutes before baking. This allows the ingredients to meld together, resulting in a more flavorful cookie. Lastly, keep an eye on the cookies as they bake; since oven temperatures can vary, you may need to adjust the baking time slightly to achieve that perfect golden brown edge.
