Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 10 tablespoons (1 stick + 2 tablespoons) butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • ⅓ cup + 1 tablespoon (4 ounces) creamy peanut butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 ¼ cups (9.4 ounces) light brown sugar
  • 1 ⅔ cups (8.3 ounces) all-purpose flour

Add-ins

  • 1 ⅔ cups (10 ounces) chocolate chips (dark, milk, semisweet, mini, or any kind preferred)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 325°F (or 300°F if using convection bake). Spray a nonstick 48-count mini muffin pan, or two 24-count pans, with cooking spray to prevent sticking, then set them aside.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, creamy peanut butter, salt, and baking soda until smooth. Add the brown sugar and blend well. Whisk in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
  3. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the wet mixture, folding gently with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Stop mixing when just a few streaks of flour remain to avoid overworking the dough.
  4. Add Chocolate Chips: Stir in the chocolate chips carefully, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough without overmixing.
  5. Portion Dough: Divide the dough evenly into the mini muffin tins, using a #60 mini cookie scoop or spoon. This ensures uniform bite sizes and even baking.
  6. Bake: Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the cookie bites are lightly browned, starting to crackle on top, and edges feel slightly firm. Avoid overbaking to maintain softness inside.
  7. Cool and Remove: Allow the cookie bites to cool to room temperature in the pan. Once cool, use a plastic knife around the edges to carefully pop them out without breaking.

Notes

  • Use a mini cookie scoop for consistent sizing of cookie bites.
  • Do not overmix the dough to keep the cookies tender.
  • Adjust baking time slightly if using different oven types or pan sizes.
  • Chocolate chip variety can be customized to individual taste preferences.
  • Cooling thoroughly is important to avoid breaking when removing from the pan.
