Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
- 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
- 1 cup peanut butter chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
Add the peanut butter and mix until fully incorporated.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Fold in the peanut butter chips with a rubber spatula.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, form 1.5-inch dough balls and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Flatten each dough ball slightly with the back of a fork, creating a crisscross pattern on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking; the cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
