Ingredients

  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • Baking soda
  • Salt
  • Unsalted butter
  • Peanut butter
  • Sugar
  • Brown sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

Combine dry ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Cream butter, peanut butter, and sugars

In a large bowl, beat butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.

Step 4

Add egg and vanilla

Add egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat until well combined.

Step 5

Combine wet and dry ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Step 6

Shape and mark cookies

Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets. Use a fork to make a criss-cross pattern on top of each cookie, gently pressing down to flatten slightly.

Step 7

Bake cookies

Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Step 8

Serve

Serve the cookies at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
