Whether you’re a longtime fan of Snoop or just looking for the next best cookie recipe, this one brings that West Coast flavor straight to your kitchen.
Ingredients:
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preparation:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Step 2: Cream the Butter and Sugars
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
Step 3: Add Egg and Vanilla
- Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Step 4: Add Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Step 5: Fold in Chocolate Chips
- Stir in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Step 6: Scoop and Bake
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look just set. Don’t overbake—they’ll continue to cook on the baking sheet.
Step 7: Cool and Enjoy
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Variation:
- Double Trouble: Add ½ cup chopped peanuts for crunch
- Extra Chocolate: Use mini chips, white chocolate, or dark chocolate chunks
- Hip-Hop Heat: Add a pinch of cayenne or cinnamon for an edgy twist
- Vegan Snoop Style: Substitute the egg with a flax egg and use vegan butter and dairy-free chocolate
- Snoop S’mores Version: Press a mini marshmallow into the top of each cookie before baking
COOKING Note:
Snoop’s recipe keeps it classic but flexible. For extra softness, slightly underbake and let them finish setting on the tray. Want crisp edges? Leave them in for 1–2 minutes longer.
