Yield: 24 Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter softened
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar packed
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- Granulated Sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, add peanut butter, softened butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar. Mix until smooth and fluffy.
- Beat in egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, stirring just until a soft dough forms.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls.
- Place dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- If desired, use a fork to gently press down each cookie, creating a crisscross pattern seen on many Peanut Butter Cookies.
- Sprinkle a light dusting of granulated sugar over the tops.
- Place in preheated oven and bake for 10 - 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may appear slightly soft but will firm up as the cookies cool.
- Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
