Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 190 grams creamy peanut butter
- 150 grams brown sugar
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 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 or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, creamy peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and beat until well 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 on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Scoop out 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough and roll each portion into a ball. Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Step 7
Using a fork, gently press down on each dough ball to create a criss-cross pattern on top.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
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
Serve and enjoy your moist, chewy, irresistible peanut butter cookies!
