Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the peanut butter, softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart and press down with a fork in a crisscross pattern.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
- Cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
