Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar (for coating)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and unsalted butter. Beat them together with a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the bowl, then mix until fully incorporated and fluffy.
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract, beating until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the peanut butter mixture, mixing until just combined and a soft dough forms.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are set and lightly golden on the bottom. Do not overbake.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool slightly, about 5 minutes. While still warm, roll each cookie ball in powdered sugar to coat completely.
Transfer the coated cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
