Ingredients
For the Cold Brew Coffee:
- 1 cup coarsely ground coffee not the fine stuff, unless you love sludge
- 4 cups cold water filtered, if you care about taste
- Ice cubes because warm cold brew is just wrong
- Milk or cream optional, but recommended
- Sweetener if you prefer your coffee to taste less like actual coffee
For the Peanut Butter Cookies:
- 1 cup peanut butter creamy or crunchy, pick your allegiance
- ¾ cup granulated sugar because peanut butter alone isn’t sweet enough
- 1 egg room temperature, trust the science
- ½ tsp vanilla extract because everything tastes better with vanilla
- ½ tsp baking soda so they don’t bake into sad little discs
- ¼ tsp salt to balance the sweetness
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Cold Brew Coffee
- Combine ground coffee and cold water in a large jar.
- Stir, cover, and let it sit for 12 hours in the fridge.
- Strain through a fine mesh strainer or coffee filter.
- Pour over ice and add milk or sweetener if desired.
- Sip slowly and pretend you’re sophisticated.
Step 2: Bake the Peanut Butter Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (because raw dough is a gamble).
- In a bowl, mix peanut butter, sugar, egg, vanilla, baking soda, and salt.
- Stir until dough forms (yes, it’s that easy).
- Scoop dough onto a baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
- Flatten slightly with a fork in a crisscross pattern (for that classic peanut butter cookie look).
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden.
- Let cool or burn your mouth immediately.
