Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 125 grams Peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Brown sugar (light or dark)
- 1 Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 190 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
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, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture and beat until just 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 just until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Step 6
Scoop out about 1.5 tablespoons of dough for each cookie and roll into balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each one.
Step 7
Using the back of a fork, gently press down on each cookie to create a crisscross pattern.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden. The centers may still look soft, but they will firm up as the cookies cool.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve and enjoy your soft peanut butter cookies!
