Giant Peanut Butter Cookies stuffed with creamy peanut butter. .

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 115 grams (1/2 cup or 1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup caster sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 and 1/4 cup plain flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cornflour (cornstarch)
  • Peanut butter chips or chocolate chips, for decorating

Instructions

  1. Line two oven trays with baking paper and set aside. Spoon the peanut butter into a shallow plastic container and pop into the freezer. Meanwhile, using an electric mixer, beat the butter, sugars and vanilla in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add the egg and beat until combined. Sift in the flour, baking soda and cornflour and gently stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until a soft dough forms. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and pop into the fridge for at least 1 hour.
  3. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees (360 F). Grab the peanut butter from the freezer and the cookie dough out of the fridge. Using your hands, grab a teaspoon or so of cookie dough and pop about 1/2 teaspoon of peanut butter on top, and then sandwich another piece of cookie dough on top. Roll the dough into a large ball, trying to keep all the peanut butter hidden.
  4. Continue with remaining cookie dough and peanut butter until you have rolled about 10 to 12 large cookies. Line the cookies on your prepared trays ensuring you leave plenty of room for the cookie to spread out. Bake in the oven for 11-12 minutes or until golden brown on the edges. Remove from the oven and carefully transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. Very gently, press a few peanut butter or chocolate chips on top of each cookie while they are still warm.
