Time 2h

Yield About 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, plus more for dusting (optional)

Steps:

  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter, brown sugar and peanut butter in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until creamy, about 1 minute. Increase the speed to medium high and beat until fluffy, about 2 more minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low; add the flour mixture and beat until well blended. Add the chocolate chips and beat until combined.
  • Put the granulated sugar and confectioners¿ sugar in separate small bowls. Roll tablespoonfuls of dough into balls, then roll first in the granulated sugar and then generously in the confectioners' sugar. Arrange 2 inches apart on 2 ungreased baking sheets.
  • Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are just firm around the edges and cracked on top, 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool 3 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely. Dust the cookies with more confectioners' sugar, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality peanut butter for the best flavor. Creamy peanut butter will give you a smooth crackle, while chunky peanut butter will give you a more textured crackle.
  • If you don't have corn syrup, you can use honey or maple syrup instead. Just be sure to reduce the amount of liquid you add, as honey and maple syrup are both sweeter than corn syrup.
  • If you want your crackles to be extra crispy, bake them for a few minutes longer. Just keep an eye on them so they don't burn.
  • Let the crackles cool completely before storing them. This will help them to stay crispy.
  • Store the crackles in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
