Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies
Description
The Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies recipe uses a blend of butter, creamy peanut butter, brown and white sugars for sweetness and moisture. After mixing in an egg and vanilla extract, the dry ingredients of flour, baking powder, and baking soda are incorporated to provide structure and lift. The dough is portioned into tablespoon-sized balls, placed on parchment-lined sheets, and lightly flattened with a fork to create the traditional crosshatch pattern. The brief 9-minute bake at 350°F leaves the cookies with a pale, slightly undercooked appearance, ensuring a soft and chewy texture once cooled. Optional sea salt enhances the overall flavor profile.

- 1/2 cup butter 1 stick (softened, unsalted
