These crispy peanut butter ramen noodle cookies combine creamy peanut butter with crunchy ramen noodles and a sprinkle of sea salt flakes for a salty-sweet, addictive snack that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 package dry ramen noodles, broken into small pieces (no seasoning packet)
  • ½ tsp (2.5 ml) baking soda
  • ¼ tsp (1.25 ml) salt
  • Sea salt flakes for sprinkling (e.g., Maldon or fleur de sel)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter and sugar. Use a hand mixer or sturdy spoon to beat until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the peanut butter mixture. Mix until fully incorporated, about 1 minute.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together baking soda and salt.
  5. Break the dry ramen noodles into small, bite-sized pieces by hand, mixing tiny crumbs with larger chunks.
  6. Fold the baking soda, salt, and crushed ramen noodles into the peanut butter mixture. Stir gently but thoroughly to combine. The dough will be thick and a bit crumbly but holds together.
  7. Use a spoon or small cookie scoop to drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches (5 cm) apart. Flatten each slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
  8. Generously sprinkle sea salt flakes over each cookie before baking.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cookies have firmed up but still look slightly soft in the center.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Avoid overbaking to keep cookies crispy rather than dry and crumbly. Crush ramen noodles unevenly for the best texture. Use room temperature egg for easier mixing. Sea salt flakes add a special pop of flavor and texture. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for up to a month. Reheat in a 300°F oven for 5 minutes to revive crispiness.
