Ingredients
  

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)

1/2 cup chopped peanuts (optional, for added crunch)

Instructions
 

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

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.

      Add Dry Ingredients: Sprinkle in the baking soda and salt. Blend these dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully incorporated. The dough will be thick—don't worry, that's normal!

        Fold in the Chocolate: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped peanuts (if using) with a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

          Form Cookies: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a couple of inches between each cookie for spreading.

            Flatten Slightly: With the palm of your hand, gently flatten the tops of each dough ball. They will spread a bit while baking, but this will help them cook evenly.

              Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers appear slightly underbaked. This will ensure they stay chewy!

                Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Serve & Enjoy: Once cooled, serve the Peanut Butter Bomb Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite dairy-free alternative. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week (if they last that long!).
