Thick and chewy peanut butter cookies with crinkled tops and fudgy interiors. This simple cookie dough is made in one bowl and rolled in sugar for a fun look after baking.
Cover and chill dough for 30 minutes. Using a 1 oz. cookie scoop or measuring spoon, scoop out even amounts of dough. Roll into round balls and roll in the sugar to coat. Repeat until all of the dough has been used. Arrange 2-3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Gently press down on the cookies to flatten before baking*.
1 1/2 cups Granulated sugar
Bake for 9-11 minutes until slightly golden brown. Allow to cool slightly on the cookie sheet before transferring to a cooling rack. Repeat with remaining cookies. Store in an airtight container for up to a week!
Notes
*Use a round cookie cutter to scoot cookies into perfect circles after baking!*These cookies are thick and fudgy, lightly pressing down the dough prior to baking helps them form better.
