Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour 163-195 gram, +2 tablespoons; add up to 2 more tablespoons if needed
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 pinch salt
- ½ cup butter 105 grams, softened
- ½ cup peanut butter 150 grams, plain or crunchy; 2 tablespoons
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- ½ cup granulated sugar (100 grams)
- ½ cup brown sugar 90 grams, lightly packed
- 1 large egg room temperature
*If using unsalted butter then add ¼ teaspoon of salt.
Instructions
- In a medium bowl whisk together the dry ingredients.
- In a large bowl cream the butter, peanut butter, vanilla and sugars, then add the egg and beat to combine.
- Add the dry ingredients to the peanut butter mixture and mix to just to combine, (the dough will be sticky, although if it is extremely sticky 1-2 tablespoons of flour). This can be done either by hand or with the flat beaters. Move the dough to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour or even over night.
- Roll the dough into golfball size balls, place them on parchment paper lined cookie sheets about 1 inch (2 ½ cm) apart, gently flatten making a criss cross pattern with a fork (dipped in flour) on each cookie. Chill the cookies for at least 15-20 minutes while the oven is pre-heating.
- Pre-Heat oven to 350F (180C).
- Bake for approximately 10 minutes, let the cookies cool 5-10 minutes on the cookie sheet then move to a wire rack to cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
