Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 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 mixing bowl, beat together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, beating until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Step 7
Using a fork, gently flatten each dough ball, pressing down to create a crisscross pattern on top.
Step 8
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly soft—this is perfect!
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Enjoy your Gramma's 'I Told You So' Peanut Butter Cookies with a tall glass of milk or share them with friends for a comforting treat!
