Peanut Butter Cookies
Make the perfect batch of classic peanut butter cookies with this easy-to-follow recipe. Soft, chewy, and packed with peanut butter flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 cups 255 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon scant table salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, light, packed
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine the flour, baking powder, soda, and salt in a medium bowl and whisk to blend.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the butter and both sugars. Beat until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs until smooth and well blended.
- Add the peanut butter and vanilla and beat until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix on the lowest speed just until combined.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for 1 hour.
- Heat the oven to 350 F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
