If you’ve ever tried my copycat Subway chocolate chip cookie recipe or my copycat Subway raspberry cheesecake cookies then you probably know that I used to eat at Subway a lot. When I say a lot, I mean twice a week or more as long as I worked for a company that was located in the middle of nowhere. There were three options for lunch: Subway, Chinese takeaway, or bring your own!

🧈 Ingredients needed

For this recipe, you will need:

  • All purpose flour: The base of the cookie dough.
  • White and brown sugar: To sweeten the cookies.
  • Egg: You’ll need one large egg.
  • Baking soda: To give the cookies some rise.
  • Peanut butter: You’ll need creamy peanut butter to make these cookies.
  • Salt: I used ¼ teaspoon but you may want to test how salty your peanut butter is. The brand I use isn’t very salty. You can always reduce it down to ⅛ teaspoon, if desired.
  • Butter: I recommend using unsalted butter since peanut butter can be quite salty.
  • Vanilla extract: I recommend using pure vanilla extract, if possible.

🥣 How to make

To make these cookies, begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees.

Next, add your dry ingredients (white sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, and flour) to a large mixing bowl. Stir well with a large spoon.

Add in your wet ingredients and mix well with a hand mixer until everything is well combined.

Measure the dough out (about 2 ½ tablespoons) and form balls. Press them down a little (they will hold the ball shape if not flattened a little). Do not press them all the way down to the pan or they will be too flat.

Bake for 9 to 11 minutes then let them rest on the baking sheet for 15 minutes before transferring.

🥡 How to store leftovers

Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. They will be good for 3 to 4 days.

👩‍🍳 Tips for this recipe

  • Use less salt if you find your brand of peanut butter is more salty.
  • Be sure to press the cookie dough balls down a little (but not all the way flat). These cookies hold their shape while baking.
  • The cookies may seem undone but they will finish cooking while resting on the baking sheet.
