Ingredients

• 1 cup, softened Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup, packed Brown sugar
• 2 units Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking trays with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.

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. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, scoop out dough and roll into 1.5-inch balls. Place the balls of dough on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Using the tines of a fork, press down gently on each dough ball to form a crisscross pattern.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges. They may look slightly underbaked in the center, but this ensures a soft and chewy texture.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve with a glass of cold milk or enjoy as-is. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
