Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat with a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the bowl, then beat again until fully incorporated.
Step 4
In a separate mixing 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. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out the dough into 1.5-inch balls. Place the dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Step 7
Using a fork, gently press the tines into the dough balls to create a criss-cross pattern, flattening them slightly.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft. Do not overbake.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Enjoy with a glass of milk or share with family and friends!
