Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar, packed
- 200 grams creamy peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 180 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons 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, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and beat until well incorporated.
Step 4
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Step 7
Using a fork dipped in sugar, gently press down on each cookie ball twice, creating a crisscross pattern.
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 from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
