- Gently incorporate chocolate chips. You get a non stick and very soft cookie dough.
- Use a 5cm-2inch. ice cream scooper and scoop cookie balls onto a lined baking sheet 4cm-1,5inch apart.
- Slightly flatten the top of cookie balls and get thick discs.

Notes
Hello, I am Valentina! Welcome to How Tasty!
I am an Italian girl in love with baking and cooking. I’ve been raised in a cooking family, baking since I was a little girl and learning from my mom and my professional chef grandma.
I created the Youtube channel How Tasty in 2017 to share with you my passion.
You don’t need to be a professional cook to follow all my recipes thanks to the video tutorials and the tips & hints you can find here.
Let’s cook!
Tips:
In this recipe I’ve used Natural Peanut Butter made with peanuts and a small part of coconut oil. Natural Peanut Butter has usually an oily part that is separated on top: remember to mix it very well in the jar before use it to get a evenly smooth and creamy peanut butter.
You can also use classic Peanut Butter (like Skippy brand), it will work fine too. Don’t worry if your peanut butter is runny or more thick than mine, any peanut butter consistency works fine in this recipe: just mix it well before use it, mostly if there are oily separated part.
In this recipe I gave you the weight of the eggs, so you can’t go wrong with the dough and get the perfect consistency that should be very soft but not sticky or wet.
You don’t need to put the dough in refrigerator before form into balls and baking: these cookies turn out perfect even if you bake them immediately as I did in the recipe video above!
If you prefer, you can also put the cookie dough in refrigerator for up to 48 hours before form into balls and bake your cookies, just remember to bring it to room temperature before use it.
