    Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe
    (About 24+ cookies)
    Dry ingredients:
    7.5oz all purpose flour (about 1 2/3 cups)
    ** Used 2.5 cups flour once and batter was slightly drier, but cookies still equally good! Hubby prefers more. **
    1 tsp baking soda
    1 tsp salt
    Wet ingredients:
    10.5oz brown sugar (about 1.5 cups)
    1 cup creamy peanut butter (about 250g)
    2 Tbs honey
    1 tsp vanilla extract
    4 Tbs melted butter
    2 eggs
    1/2 cup roasted peanuts (chopped)
    Whisk together dry ingredients.
    Whisk together wet ingredients.
    Add dry to wet ingredients.
    Fold until just combined.
    Add roasted peanuts.
    Scoop and roll into ball.
    Flatten to 2 inch diameter.
    Bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes (rotate halfway)
    Made these and SO good! Best PB cookies. ATKs scientific recipes are good for a reason. Make these! 👍😎🤩

    These are now my go-to peanut butter cookie! Chewy and delish!
    1) If you don’t have the “Adjust-a-cup”, coat your utensils with cooking spray before measuring the peanut butter and honey. The food will come out easy and cleaner.
    2) The dough looks very wet/oily as compared to other cookie doughs.
    3) I used a #40 (1.5 TBSP) scoop and baked 10 minutes. Cookies were between 2.5”-3” wide. Perfect!
    4) 4:50 why bother rolling the cookies into a ball when you’re just going to turn around and flatten them out?
    5) Finally, the bottom of my 1/4 cup measure is almost exactly 2” wide. I just pressed the cookies down with the measuring cup until I saw the edge of the dough around the bottom of the cup. Perfect!

    Omg, I was already loving this video, but then Erin brings out her mom?! Delight overload! When these at-home vids started, nearly two years after the start of the pandemic, and shortly after all the other YT cooks seemed to be heading back to food studios (BATK; Food52, et.), I wondered if ATK had missed the mark. But I *love* seeing my favorite chefs in their own real, normal, non-sexy kitchens. These kitchens (and tools) feel like mine (except I have a very messy kitchen), and it feels like I get to peep inside of their lives a little bit. And as much as I adore Bridget and Julia, it's great meeting other cooks and product reviewers on a regular basis. Keep up the good work; keep inviting ur moms (and dads) over. 15/10: highly recommend ATK channel and recipes.
