Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Creamy peanut butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Light brown sugar
- 1 piece Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 190 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the unsalted butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until smooth and creamy, 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 on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to portion out dough balls. Roll each portion into a ball and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Using a fork, gently press down on each dough ball in a crisscross pattern to flatten slightly.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden but the centers are still soft. Be careful not to overbake.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week and enjoy!
