Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Creamy peanut butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Brown sugar (packed)
- 1 piece Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 190 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsalted butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the ingredients together until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until fully incorporated.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
Step 6
Scoop out tablespoons of dough (or use a small cookie scoop) and roll them into balls. Place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Step 7
Using a fork, gently press down on each dough ball to create a crisscross pattern.
Step 8
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake; the cookies will continue to set as they cool.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Enjoy these irresistible peanut butter cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage!
