Ingredients
  

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup chocolate chips (dark or milk chocolate, as preferred)

1/2 cup chopped peanuts (optional for extra crunch)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, blend until smooth and well combined.

      Add Egg and Vanilla: Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the mixture, continuing to beat until everything is fully integrated.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the baking soda and salt. Gradually stir this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.

          Fold in Chocolate Chips and Peanuts: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and, if using, the chopped peanuts to add a delightful crunch to your cookies.

            Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart since they will spread a bit during baking.

              Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden while the centers remain soft.

                Cool Down: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled, indulge in your delicious Peanut Butter Bomb Cookies, which are perfect for sharing or savoring all on your own!
