Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Creamy peanut butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 150 grams Brown sugar, packed
- 1 unit Large egg
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 190 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 176°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until well combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, form 1 to 1.5-inch balls of dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Gently flatten each ball with a fork in a crisscross pattern to create the classic peanut butter cookie look.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked—that's okay; they'll set as they cool.
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
Serve and enjoy these delicious cookies with a glass of cold milk or as a snack anytime!
