Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (132 g) peanut butter
- 1/2 cup (115 g) butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100 g) packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 3/4 cups (210 g) all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or a silpat liner.
- In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the peanut butter, butter, sugar and brown sugar. Cream until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes.
- Add the egg and beat until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
- Add the flour mixture to the peanut butter mixture. Beat until combined. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl to make sure everything is incorporated.
- Scoop the dough by tablespoonfuls (I like to use a cookie scoop to make sure they are all uniform) and roll into balls. Place the balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared cookies sheets.
- Using a fork, press down on the cookies first one way, then perpendicular to form an “x” pattern. If the fork is sticking in the cookie dough, you can dip it in flour.
- Bake the cookies, one sheet at at time in the middle of the oven, for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Do not overbake.
- Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then remove to a clean piece of parchment or a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- These cookies can be frozen, wrapped in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, for up to 1 month. Do not unwrap before defrosting.
