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. This is my go-to recipe for peanut butter cookies and I hope it becomes yours too! They’re one of those cookies that’s just to hard to resist when someone has baked a fresh batch.

Ingredients

1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 large egg
3/4 cup (185g) creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup (110g) packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup (105g) granulated sugar
1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1 1/3 cup (188g) all-purpose flour

Method

01

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two 18 by 13-inch baking sheets with silicone baking liners or parchment paper.
02

In a medium mixing bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
03

In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until combined.
04

Mix in peanut butter then blends in egg and vanilla. With mixer set on low speed slowly add in flour mixture and mix just until combined.
05

Scoop dough out and shape into balls (30 grams each or nearly 2 Tbsp) then place on baking sheets spacing them 2-inches apart.
06

Using a long pronged fork flatten cookies slightly then turn fork going the opposite direction and flatten just slightly again (it should create that criss-cross pattern).
07

Bake cookies in the 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).
08

Let cool on baking sheet 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store cookies and an airtight container.
