Ingredients

Scale

For the cookies:

  • 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

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream the ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the peanut butter, butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Mix the dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  6. Shape the cookies: Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of dough and roll into balls. Place them 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Use a fork to lightly press down and create a crisscross pattern.
  7. Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers remain soft.
  8. Cool and enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
