These Peanut Butter Clouds are soft, fluffy, and utterly irresistible. With a delicate dusting of powdered sugar, they are like biting into a sweet, peanut buttery cloud. Perfect for any occasion!


Ingredients

For the Cookies:

1 cup creamy peanut butter, 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt.

For Dusting:

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream peanut butter, softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to wet mixture and mix until just combined.
