Description

For a softer consistency, it's better to use smooth peanut butter. For a special depth of flavor, you can add 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon. To make crunchier cookies, use chunky peanut butter and bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes.

Ingredients

Brown Sugar - 3.5 oz
Muscovado Sugar - 3.9 oz
Butter - 3.9 oz
Peanut Butter - 3.5 oz
Egg white - 1 piece

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Beat the room temperature butter until creamy. Add the two types of sugar and beat until fluffy. Add the peanut butter and egg, and mix well until smooth.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture and beat well.

Step 3

Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.

Step 4

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 320°F.

Step 5

From the prepared dough, form small balls (3.5 cm in diameter). Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, a couple of centimeters apart. Press down on the balls with a fork to create a crisscross pattern.

Step 6

Bake for a maximum of 15 minutes. Once baked, let them sit on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
