Instructions
Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Pro tip: Lining the baking sheets prevents sticking and makes for easier cleanup.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Pro tip: Whisking dry ingredients ensures even distribution and avoids clumping.
Cream Butter and Sugars
In a large bowl, beat together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Pro tip: Ensure butter is at room temperature for smoother creaming.
Add Egg and Vanilla
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
Pro tip: Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing.
Combine with Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Fold in the chopped Oh Henry bars.
Pro tip: Do not overmix to keep the cookies tender.
Chill Dough
Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Pro tip: Chilling helps the flavours meld and prevents spreading.
Shape and Bake
Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Pro tip: For uniform cookies, use a cookie scoop.
Cool and Serve
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Pro tip: Cooling on the sheets helps them firm up before moving.
