Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar (packed)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream the ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add egg and vanilla: Add the egg and vanilla extract, and beat until fully combined.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Form cookie dough: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll into balls, and place on prepared baking sheets.
- Bake: Use a fork to press a crisscross pattern into each cookie. Bake for 8–10 minutes until edges are set but centers are still soft.
- Cool: Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For softer cookies, slightly underbake and let them finish setting on the baking sheet.
- You can use chunky peanut butter or add chocolate chips for variation.
