Peanut Butter Cookies

Introduction

Peanut butter cookies are an all-time favorite — they’re soft, chewy, rich with peanut butter flavor, and super easy to make. Perfect with a glass of milk or a cup of tea!

Ingredients

1 cup creamy or chunky peanut butter
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup light brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt

(Optional) extra granulated sugar for rolling.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add dry ingredients into the peanut butter mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough and roll them into balls. Optional: roll them lightly in granulated sugar for a sparkly finish.
Place the balls on the prepared sheet and flatten slightly with a fork in a criss-cross pattern.
Bake for 9–11 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden. Cookies will look a bit soft in the center — they’ll firm up as they cool.
Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
