Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the unsalted butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, beating 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 ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Use the back of a fork to make a cross-hatch pattern on each cookie, gently pressing down on the dough.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will look slightly soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy with a glass of milk or package them as gifts for friends and family!
