Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar (lightly packed)
- 1 unit Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl, and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.
Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to portion out the dough, rolling each piece into a ball. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
Using a fork, press down gently on each dough ball to create a crosshatch pattern.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked (the cookies will firm up a bit as they cool).
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your soft, chewy peanut butter cookies with a glass of milk or as an indulgent snack!
