Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 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, beat together the unsalted butter, creamy 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 mixture, and beat until fully 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 just until a dough forms.
Using a tablespoon-sized scoop or spoon, roll the dough into balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Using a fork, gently press down on each dough ball to create a crisscross pattern.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Do not overbake; the cookies will continue to set as they cool.
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.
Serve and enjoy your Everybody Loves Em Peanut Butter Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
