Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 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 bowl, beat the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until creamy and well combined, about 2 minutes using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Using a large cookie scoop or your hands, form the dough into 12 equal-sized balls (approximately 3 tablespoons of dough each). Flatten each dough ball slightly with your palm and place them at least 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 11–12 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden. The centers will look slightly underbaked, which helps keep the cookies chewy.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these cookies fresh or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days!
