Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Creamy peanut butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Brown sugar (packed)
- 1 piece Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 190 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsalted butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the ingredients together until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
Scoop out tablespoons of dough (or use a small cookie scoop) and roll them into balls. Place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Using a fork, gently press down on each dough ball to create a crisscross pattern.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake; the cookies will continue to set as they cool.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these irresistible peanut butter cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage!
