Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Light brown sugar, packed
• 1 Large egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Heath Bits (toffee pieces)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, beat together the unsalted butter and peanut butter until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Add the granulated sugar and light brown sugar to the bowl and mix until well combined and fluffy.

Step 4

Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the mixture and continue beating until fully blended.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Gently fold in the Heath Bits until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 8

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

Lightly flatten each cookie with the back of a fork, creating a criss-cross pattern if desired.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look soft, but they will firm up as they cool.

Step 11

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Enjoy your Heath Bits Peanut Butter Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
