Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the unsalted butter, creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
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 ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 6
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out dough and roll it into 1-inch balls. Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Step 7
Gently press a crisscross pattern on each dough ball using the tines of a fork.
Step 8
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9-10 minutes, or until the edges are just set and slightly golden. The centers will look soft, but they'll set as they cool.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve and enjoy! Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
