Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until creamy and well combined, about 2 minutes using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Step 3
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Using a large cookie scoop or your hands, form the dough into 12 equal-sized balls (approximately 3 tablespoons of dough each). Flatten each dough ball slightly with your palm and place them at least 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 11–12 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden. The centers will look slightly underbaked, which helps keep the cookies chewy.
Step 8
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Enjoy these cookies fresh or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days!
