Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 0.75 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon 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, use an electric mixer to 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 mixture. Beat until fully combined and smooth.
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 mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 6
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls with your hands. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Using a fork, gently flatten each dough ball in a crisscross pattern.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked—this is okay as they will firm up while cooling.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve the cookies once cooled or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
