Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 units large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the unsalted butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until a smooth dough forms. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, portion the dough into small balls and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Step 7
Flatten each dough ball slightly with the tines of a fork, creating a criss-cross pattern.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set. Be careful not to overbake.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve and enjoy your Pat's Peanut Butter Cookies with a glass of cold milk or your favorite beverage!
