Prepration

Ingredients

1 Pack Schobern® Original Cookie Mix
2 Tbsp Water (30ml)
3/4 Stick Unsalted melted butter
1/2 Cup Peanut butter
1/2 Cup chocolate chips

Recipe

Prepare

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). This ensures that the cookies bake evenly. While the oven is heating up, line your baking sheets with parchment paper or, if you prefer, use an ungreased pan. The parchment paper helps to prevent the cookies from sticking and makes for an easy cleanup.

Mix:
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cookie mix, water, melted unsalted butter, and peanut butter. The combination of these ingredients creates a rich, creamy base for your cookies.

3. Use an electric beater or a sturdy spoon to mix the ingredients together. If the dough seems a bit tough, don't hesitate to use your hands to knead it gently. Hand kneading can ensure all ingredients are well-incorporated.

4. Once mixed, allow the dough to rest in the fridge for about 10 minutes. This resting period helps the dough firm up slightly, making it easier to shape and enhancing the cookies' texture when baked.

5. After chilling, fold in the chocolate chips. Make sure the chips are evenly distributed throughout the dough to ensure every bite is packed with chocolatey goodness.

Shape:
6. Using a cookie scoop or your hands, shape the dough into small balls. Place these dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 10 cm apart. This spacing allows the cookies to spread out as they bake without merging into each other.

Important tip: Do not flatten the dough balls. Leaving them in a rounded shape helps maintain their chewy texture and prevents them from becoming too flat during baking.

Bake:
7. Place the baking sheets in your preheated oven. For large cookies, bake for 12-14 minutes, and for smaller cookies, bake for 10-13 minutes. You'll know they're ready when they turn a beautiful golden brown.

Once baked, allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes. This initial cooling period helps them firm up, making them easier to transfer without breaking.

Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. This cooling method prevents the bottoms from becoming soggy and ensures they stay perfectly crisp.

Storage:
9. Store your cooled cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh. They can be enjoyed for several days, maintaining their delicious flavor and texture.

These Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies are perfect for any occasion, whether it's a cozy night in or a festive gathering. Enjoy baking and sharing these delightful treats!
