Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, cream together the peanut butter, softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  3. Shape and bake: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the baking sheet. Use a fork to create a crisscross pattern on each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool before enjoying!

Notes

  • For a creative twist, try dipping half of each cookie in melted chocolate or sprinkling with flaky sea salt before baking.
