Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams creamy peanut butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 150 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, use an electric mixer to cream 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 butter mixture, and beat until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough into 1.5-inch balls and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Optional: Use the back of a fork to gently press down on each ball of dough in a crisscross pattern.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly soft, which is perfect for chewy cookies.
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.
Serve and enjoy your perfectly delicious peanut butter cookies!
