Small Batch Peanut Butter Cookies are soft, creamy pillows of peanut butter goodness! They cook in just 9 minutes and best of all this recipe makes a small batch so that you don’t have tons leftover!

Small Batch Peanut Butter Cookies

The boys were out of school last week. When they’re home, I always make more desserts. They love to help cook; they especially love helping me make cookies. I warned them beforehand that this was going to be a small batch cookie and that we wouldn’t have much dough to eat if we wanted to have any cooked cookies to eat. They assured me it was okay, but when all was said and done, they’re a lot like me and regretted not getting to eat any of the cookie dough.

I made these cookies and thought it made just the right amount of cookies. Cutting down the batch to make just 10 to 12 cookies was genius. That was until the boys helped me make a batch. They much prefer to have plenty of dough to eat before baking the cookies. Note to self, when they help make a regular batch and freeze the leftover dough!

These Small Batch Peanut Butter Cookies have a rich peanut butter flavor. I like to undercook my cookies so they’re still soft and gooey. These cookies take just minutes, maybe seven, to mix together. I do recommend chilling to the dough before cooking. If you don’t chill the dough you’ll have thin cookies, not fat chewy cookies. When you plan to make them, plan for that chilling time.

    If I used cookie cutters instead of scooping the dough, would the cookies still be soft?

    I am eating this wonderful little cookie as I type also. I have never made peanut butter cookies that weren’t flattened with a crosshatch but I am a convert! I used 1/2 white whole wheat flour in an effort to convince myself they were healthy and they turned out great, fat and fluffy. Thank you for this recipe – it’s a keeper!

    I’m eating some of these cookies as I write this, delicious . I think I erred though. don’t know why but I flattened the cookies before I baked, probably shouldn’t have done that, because my cookies weren’t soft nor crispy but chewy. My only problem with these cookies are that they’re too tempting .

      I like thick gooey cookies so I never flatten them (for myself) but my husband loves flat crispy cookies.

    What a great idea to make a small batch. I like baking cookies but sometimes the big batches take so long to make and I end up with too many cookies that tempt me all day! I love it that I have all these ingredients on hand already! Pinning this and hoping to try it out soon!

    What a brilliant idea. Of course, 10-12 cookies will be gone in a day but that is better than 48 being gone in 2! We have a cookie-thing going around here. Paula, if you haven’t already, will you come by one of my blog hops and share this? You know the drill, we go live Tuesday eve for Wonderful Wednesday. The FB party goes live tonight at 10:30pm

    You are the small batch Queen. I normally cut my batches in half, because I have a ‘thing’ about cookies being fresh. I often take cookies to work. If the previous cookies I baked are over 2 days old, I toss them in favor of the fresh ones. BUT once I discovered my boss fishing the cookies out of the trash, I gave up about the matter. Wasn’t there a Seinfeld episode about getting food out of the trash???? You do make a wonderful selection of cookies.
