Classic Peanut Butter Cookies
Soft and chewy peanut butter cookies. These are an absolute staple to have in my household at all times, and they're super easy to make too!
Servings: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups All Purpose Flour
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup Peanut Butter
- 3/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F
- In a medium sized bowl, add your flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk to combine. Set aside.
- In a large bowl with a hand mixer (or in the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment) mix together the butter and peanut butter until entirely smooth and homogenous. Add the sugars and cream together for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and mix together until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined and no streaks of flour remain.
- Portion into tablespoon sized balls and refridgerate for 15-30 minutes until the dough becomes a bit more solid. Take the dough balls out of the fridge at this point and place about 12 per baking sheet. Using a fork, indent a criss-cross pattern into the top of the cookie. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges become golden and the middles look cooked. Remove from oven and let cool before enjoying!
