Quick Answer
Bake David’s Cookies Peanut Butter Blast Cookie Dough at 350°F for 10–12 minutes if frozen, or 8–10 minutes if thawed. Place dough pieces 2 inches apart on a parchment-lined sheet, and let cookies rest on the pan for 2 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
What You’ll Need
Before you start, grab a baking sheet, parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, a cooling rack, and your 40-piece bundle of Peanut Butter Blast Cookie Dough from David’s Cookies. No special equipment is required — just standard kitchen tools. If your dough is frozen, there’s no need to thaw it first; you can bake directly from frozen for the best texture.
Why Oven Temperature Matters
Baking at 350°F gives the peanut butter cookies a golden edge while keeping the center soft and chewy. A higher temperature may brown the outside before the inside is done, leading to a raw center. A lower temperature can dry out the cookies. Use an oven thermometer to confirm accuracy, as many home ovens run hot or cold by 25°F or more.
Step-by-Step Baking Guide
- Preheat the oven to 350°F: Set your oven to 350°F and let it fully preheat for at least 10–15 minutes. Use an oven thermometer to verify the temperature — many ovens drift and can ruin your bake. Checkpoint: If your oven runs hot, reduce by 25°F to avoid burnt edges.
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Do not grease the pan — the dough has enough butter to prevent sticking, and extra grease can cause spreading. Common mistake: Greasing the pan leads to flat, greasy cookies.
- Place dough pieces on the sheet: Arrange frozen dough pieces 2 inches apart. If you’re baking from thawed dough, chill the pieces for 10 minutes in the fridge first to prevent excessive spreading. Checkpoint: Crowding the pan causes cookies to merge — bake in batches if needed.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes (frozen) or 8–10 minutes (thawed): Bake until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underdone. The cookies will continue to set as they cool. Rotate the pan halfway through for even baking. Common mistake: Overbaking until the center looks fully done results in dry, hard cookies.
- Cool on the pan for 2 minutes, then transfer: Let the cookies rest on the hot baking sheet for exactly 2 minutes. This allows them to firm up without sticking. Then move them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. Checkpoint: Skipping the rest step can cause cookies to crumble or break when moved.
