    Prep Time: Approximately 15 minutes Cook Time: Approximately 10-12 minutes per batch
  • Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup (1 sticks) unsalted butter, softened (110 g)
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter or you can use chunky (250 g)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (180 g)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

    Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until it’s light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
  • Beat in the egg with the mixture, ensuring the egg is fully incorporated before adding the next one. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make your cookies less tender.
  • Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Create the classic crisscross pattern on top of each cookie by gently pressing down with a fork.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are lightly golden. Keep in mind that baking times may vary, so keep a close eye on your first batch and adjust accordingly.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Pro Tips for Perfect Peanut Butter Cookies:
  • Butter and Peanut Butter: Ensure your butter and peanut butter are softened to room temperature. This ensures proper creaming and a better texture.
  • Measuring Flour: When measuring your flour, avoid scooping it directly from the bag. Instead, spoon it into the measuring cup and level it off with a flat edge. This prevents over-packing the flour.
  • Crisscross Pattern: To achieve a neat crisscross pattern, dip the fork in a little sugar before pressing it onto the cookie. It prevents sticking.
  • Baking Time: The key to chewy cookies is slightly underbaking them. Cookies will continue to cook as they cool on the baking sheet.
    Now, you’re all set to whip up a batch of delicious peanut butter cookies! Share them with friends, family, or enjoy them all to yourself. Happy baking!
