Unbeatable Peanut Butter Cookies with a Twist
Imagine sinking your teeth into a chewy, sandy cookie that explodes with peanut and coconut flavors. Sounds like a dream come true, right? After months of experimentation, I’m thrilled to share a game-changing recipe that yields 14 perfect cookies with only four ingredients.
The Magic Four
- 1 cup peanut butter (any type works)
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut (sweetened works too)
- 1 egg
A Recipe Born from Inspiration
I set out to recreate the iconic Chick-O-Stick by Atkinson Candy Company, and I’m proud to say I succeeded. The result is a cookie that’s both familiar and innovative, with a texture that’s hard to resist.
Easy Does It
This recipe is a breeze to make, requiring only 25 minutes of your time, with 10-13 minutes of active preparation. The simplicity of this recipe belies its complexity of flavors and textures.
The Process
- Mix and Mash: Combine peanut butter, sugar, and coconut in a small bowl. Crack in the egg and beat until smooth.
- Shape Up: Roll the mixture into 1.5-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on a greased cookie sheet or parchment paper.
- Fork It Over: Create a criss-cross pattern on top of each cookie using a fork, dipping it in water or flour between passes to prevent sticking.
- Bake to Perfection: Pop the cookies into a 350°F oven for 12 minutes, or until they’re puffy and soft on top.
The Verdict
These cookies are a masterclass in flavor and texture, with the peanut butter and coconut combining in perfect harmony. Give them a try and discover a new favorite treat!
