Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Toppings

  • 6 oz milk chocolate (chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup muddy buddies
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Cream Ingredients: Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or a hand mixer, cream together the softened butter, creamy peanut butter, brown sugar, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy. Then, add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well until fully incorporated.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Sprinkle in the salt, baking soda, and all-purpose flour. Mix on low speed until the dough just comes together and is well combined without overmixing.
  4. Shape Cookies: Portion the dough into 1/4 cup-sized balls. Place six balls spaced evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Using the palm of your hand, press down on each ball firmly to flatten into thick disks resembling hockey pucks.
  5. Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 11-12 minutes. The cookies should appear crackly on top and the centers will still look slightly underdone, but they will set as they cool.
  6. Cool Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes. Then transfer them carefully to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped milk chocolate and vegetable oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
  8. Decorate Cookies: Drizzle 1-2 tablespoons of the melted chocolate over each cooled cookie, then sprinkle a few Muddy Buddy pieces on top to add texture and flavor.
  9. Powdered Sugar Dusting: Using a fine sieve, sprinkle the powdered sugar evenly over the cookies to finish them with a delicate sweet dusting.
  10. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the cookies at room temperature or warm for the best experience. Store in an airtight container if not consuming immediately.

Notes

  • Pressing the cookie dough balls into thick disks helps them bake evenly and achieve the perfect texture.
  • The centers may look slightly underbaked when you take the cookies out of the oven, but they will firm up as they cool.
  • Use a fine sieve when dusting powdered sugar to ensure an even, delicate coating.
  • For chocolate melting, be careful to microwave in short increments and stir frequently to avoid burning the chocolate.
  • These cookies are best enjoyed within 3-4 days when stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
