Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Creamy peanut butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 120 grams Light brown sugar
- 1 whole Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 180 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Using a stand mixer or a hand mixer, beat the unsalted butter and creamy peanut butter together in a large bowl until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Add the granulated sugar and light brown sugar to the bowl. Beat together with the butter-peanut butter mixture until fully combined and fluffy, about another 2 minutes.
Mix in the large egg and pure vanilla extract. Continue beating until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing the dough.
Scoop tablespoons of dough (approximately 1.5 tablespoons per cookie) and roll them into balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Use the back of a fork to gently press down on each dough ball in a crisscross pattern to slightly flatten them.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set. Be careful not to overbake; the cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
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.
Serve and enjoy these soft and fudgy peanut butter cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
