Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using a handheld or stand mixer until the mixture is creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until fully incorporated.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure tender cookies.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop out 1.5-inch balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each ball.
Using a fork, gently press a crisscross pattern onto the tops of the cookie dough balls to slightly flatten them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges appear set but the centers still look soft. Be careful not to overbake.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Really Good Peanut Butter Cookies with a cold glass of milk, a cup of coffee, or on their own!
