Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon canola or vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or spray it with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, blend together softened butter, creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and creamy. Beat in the egg until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, beating on low speed until fully combined. Roll about 1 tablespoon of dough into a ball and place 12 dough balls onto the prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 8 minutes.
- Immediately after baking, press each cookie gently with a small flat-bottomed cup to flatten and create crinkly edges. Let the cookies cool completely on the sheet for about an hour.
- Melt milk chocolate chips and canola oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth. Spoon a small amount of melted chocolate onto the center of each cookie, spreading gently.
- Place the cookies in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set. Remove from the fridge and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
- Enjoy your Muddy Buddy Cookies immediately or store them at room temperature until ready to serve.
