Peanut Butter Cookies
Report
These are my idea of the perfect peanut butter cookie! Soft and chewy packed with peanut butter flavor. Plus they're quick and easy to make! A family favorite.

Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cup (188g) all-purpose flour (scoop and level to measure)
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (105g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (110g) packed light brown sugar
- 3/4 cup (185g) creamy peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two 18 by 13-inch baking sheets with silicone baking liners or parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until combined.
- Mix in peanut butter then blend in egg and vanilla. With mixer set on low speed slowly add in flour mixture and mix just until combined.
- Scoop dough out and shape into balls (30 grams each or nearly 2 Tbsp) then place on baking sheets spacing them 2-inches apart.
- Using a long pronged fork flatten cookies slightly then turn fork going opposite direction and flatten just slightly again (it should create that criss cross pattern).
- Bake cookies in preheated oven, one sheet at a time, for about 9 minutes (cookies will appear pale and slightly under-baked, they'll continue to cook slightly as they cool).
- Let cool on baking sheet 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store cookies and an airtight container.

- If you have a kitchen scale, use that to measure ingredients for the most accuracy.
- Try these simple peanut butter cookies drizzled with or dipped in melted milk chocolate or white chocolate.
- Add chopped peanuts for a crunchy peanut butter cookie.
