Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup (packed) Light brown sugar
- 1 Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to combine.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring on low speed until a smooth dough forms. Be careful not to over-mix.
Roll tablespoonfuls of the dough into balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Using a fork, gently press each ball of dough to flatten slightly, creating a crisscross pattern on the top.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, which is fine.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Enjoy!
