After making a batch of Stella Parks’ latest chocolate chip cookie recipe on Serious Eats, I figured since the food processor was out and I’d have to clean it anyway, I might as well use it for more cookies. So this recipe started out as a food processor attempt at Crisp and Thin Peanut Butter Cookies, but I made the cookies again a couple of times using a mixer and the creaming method and they were just as good.
Crisp and Thin Peanut Butter Cookies
If you need more cookies, this recipe doubles nicely.
Ingredients

- 1/2 cup 100 grams light brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup plus 2 T. 75 grams granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup 130 grams crunchy or creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

- 1 cup peanut butter chips or chocolate chips or chunks or a mix of chips and candies
Instructions

- In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and both sugars until light and creamy. Beat in the peanut butter, vanilla and egg.
