Chill Time 30 minutes
Total Time 1 hour
Servings 12 cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 191.5 grams bread flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 113 grams butter
  • 150 grams brown sugar
  • 50 grams white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 150 grams peanut butter chips
  • 1 teaspoon shrimp paste

Instructions
 

  • Beat the butter and sugar together until the butter is light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Add egg and shrimp paste. Mix together until well combined.
  • Add the flour, baking powder and baking soda. Mix together.
  • When the cookie dough is uniform throughout, add the peanut butter chips. I used Reese’s Pieces and little peanut butter cups.
  • Using a 1 ¾ inch ice cream scoop, scoop out the cookies onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes in the fridge.
  • Bake in a pre-heated 350ºF (175ºC) oven for 15-18 minutes, or just until the edges of the cookie has set (do not over bake).
  • Allow cookies to fully cool before enjoying
