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

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. 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.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined.
  4. Roll the dough into 1½ inch balls and place on the baking sheet. Flatten each cookie with a fork in a criss-cross pattern.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
