How to Make Annette Funicello S Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups (210g) all-purpose flour, 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted margarine, 1 cup (250g) creamy peanut butter, 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup water, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in 2 cups (300g) chocolate chips (semi-sweet, milk chocolate, or dark chocolate – your choice!).
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 3 inches between each cookie.
  7. Gently flatten each cookie with a floured fork.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
