These soft and chewy peanut butter cookies are an all-time classic, with a rich and nutty flavor that makes them irresistible.
Ingredients:
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
Directions:
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the peanut butter, butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.
Shape and Bake: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Use a fork to gently press down, creating a criss-cross pattern. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden.
Cool and Serve: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
