Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Peanut Butter (creamy or chunky)
- 0.5 cup Granulated Sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown Sugar (packed)
- 0.25 cup Unsalted Butter (softened)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1.25 cups All-Purpose Flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and softened butter. Mix until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer or a whisk.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until fully incorporated.
Gradually fold in the all-purpose flour, mixing just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
Scoop tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
For the signature peanut butter cookie look, use a fork to press a crisscross pattern into the top of each dough ball.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden. The centers may look slightly soft—this is okay.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your homemade peanut butter cookies with a glass of cold milk or your favorite beverage!
