Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 120 grams Creamy peanut butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar (for dough)
- 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
- 50 grams Granulated sugar (for rolling dough balls)
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, beat the unsalted butter, creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar (150 grams), and brown sugar together using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the large egg and vanilla extract to the bowl. Beat again 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 ingredients, mixing on low speed until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing.
Step 6
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll it into balls about 1 inch in diameter.
Step 7
Place the extra granulated sugar (50 grams) in a shallow dish. Roll each ball in the sugar to coat lightly.
Step 8
Arrange the sugar-coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the cookies have puffed up and the tops are cracked but the centers are still soft. Do not overbake.
Step 10
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Enjoy your Peanut Butter Crinkles with a glass of milk or your favorite warm beverage!
