The Best Peanut Butter Cookies
Description
This cookie recipe starts by blending flour, baking soda, and baking powder as the dry base. Butter is creamed with both granulated and brown sugar until smooth for a balanced sweetness and moisture. Creamy peanut butter and an egg are then mixed in to combine rich nutty flavor and binding.
Adding the dry ingredients slowly ensures the dough is incorporated without overmixing. Shaping cookies into flattened balls and marking them with a fork creates the traditional peanut butter cookie appearance. Baking at 350°F for 10 minutes produces cookies that may appear slightly underbaked but will firm as they cool to a soft, chewy consistency.
This straightforward recipe provides a satisfying homemade peanut butter cookie that pairs well with milk or tea for simple enjoyment.
Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup butter softened, unsalted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup peanut butter creamy
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Gather your ingredients. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and baking powder.
- Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat the mixture until smooth. Next, add in the peanut butter and egg and beat to combine.
- With the mixer set to the slowest speed, slowly add in the flour mixture and continue beating until it's well combined.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Shape the cookies into a ball and flatten each ball slightly with your palms. Using a fork, create a criss-cross pattern on top of the cookies.
- Bake the cookies at 350°F for 10 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool for at least 5 minutes. They may look a little underbaked, but don't worry - they will harden as they cool. Enjoy!
