Chewy Brown Sugar Peanut Butter Cookies

Steps

• Dough: Cream the butter, peanut butter, and brown sugar until fluffy, about 3 minutes.
• Dough: Beat in the egg, extra yolk, and vanilla.
• Dough: Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together and mix in just until combined.
• Chill: Chill a full hour. This dough is wetter than a standard peanut butter dough and needs the time.
  ⏱ Start 60 min timer
• Bake: Roll into balls, flatten only slightly with your palm, and bake at 175°C (350°F) until the edges are set and the centres look distinctly underdone.
  ⏱ Start 10 min timer

  Tip: Barely flatten these — unlike the classic version you want them thick, because thickness is what preserves the soft middle.

• Bake: Cool on the pan a full 10 minutes; they're fragile until set.
