Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.5 cups Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar (packed)
- 1 Large egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Step 4
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
Step 5
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until the dough comes together and no streaks of flour remain.
Step 6
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Flatten each ball slightly using the back of a fork, pressing down to create a crisscross pattern on the cookies.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
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
Enjoy your delicious peanut butter cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
