Creating your own batch of Chunky Peanut Butter Cookie Delights is straightforward and fun. Just follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to warm up while you prepare the cookie dough.
2. Mix Peanut Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, combine the chunky peanut butter and granulated sugar. Stir until well-blended and smooth.
3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Crack the large egg into the bowl and add vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.
4. Add Baking Soda and Salt: Sprinkle baking soda and salt into the mixture. Stir these dry ingredients into the wet ones until just combined.
5. Optional Additions: If you’d like, fold in chocolate chips or chopped nuts for extra flavor and texture.
6. Shape the Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Flatten Slightly: Use a fork to gently press down on each ball, creating a crisscross pattern.
8. Bake: Put the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden.
9. Cool: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Following these steps ensures that your Chunky Peanut Butter Cookie Delights are delectable and delightful!
