How to Make Black Eyed Susans

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Stir in 1 cup creamy peanut butter until thoroughly incorporated.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fill a cookie press with the batter. Press the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Place one chocolate chip in the center of each cookie.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. (Baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven).
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
