Peanut Butter Cookies
Soft, chewy, and loaded with rich peanut flavor, these peanut butter cookies are a timeless classic that are easy to make and impossible to resist.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the peanut butter and mix until combined. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined.
- Roll the dough into 1½ inch balls and place on the baking sheet. Flatten each cookie with a fork in a criss-cross pattern.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are set and the centers are still soft. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack.
- Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Dip your fork in sugar before pressing to prevent sticking.
- Freeze dough balls for later and bake straight from the freezer.
- Store with a slice of bread to keep cookies soft longer.
