A fun twist on a classic peanut butter cookie!
So in case you didn’t already know, I love white chocolate. I also love peanut butter (duh, who doesn’t?) And if you put the 2 of those together? I’m sold! So, when I saw this recipe I was itching to try it out! My kids and I made these cookies for an after school treat to celebrate the 1st day of October. Cause you gotta celebrate the start of the holidays. And October is pretty great. It is full of birthdays for our family too. My daughter just turned 3! What? How is that possible. So while I am in denial I will share this yummy cookie recipe with you 🙂
These cookies are delicious! The dough isn’t overly sweet which is great because white chocolate tends to be. And these cookies are loaded with white chocolate! The texture is so yummy. The melted butter makes them slightly crisp on the outside but they stay soft on the inside. In order to not eat ourselves sick on these cookies I took them to a Young Women’s activity and the girls gobbled them up!
 The candy corn melts into the cookie, giving it a slightly different texture than normal.

Author: Adell Goff
Recipe type: Cookie
Ingredients
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup white sugar
- ½ cup butter, melted & cooled slightly
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1¾ cup flour
- 1½ cups white chocolate chips
- candy corn, optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease your cookie sheet or line with parchment paper.
- In a medium sized bowl or stand mixer, combine the sugar, butter, egg, milk, vanilla, peanut butter salt and soda. Beat mixture on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add the flour then stir in the white chocolate chips.
- Place dough 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets. If adding a candy corn, press onto the top of each cookie.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes until the bottoms are just set. Do not over bake. Allow to cook on a wire rack.
Notes
If you are not adding the candy corn and want the cookies not as tall, press dough down slightly because the cookies will not spread when baking.
