Peanut Butter Cookies
These peanut butter cookies are out of this world and always turn out perfect! They are chewy, soft and easy to freeze. Easy to make in one bowl with everyday ingredients and no chilling of the dough required! Add a criss cross pattern, chocolate chips, or your favorite add in.
Servings: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter 1 stick, room temperature
- ½ cup (107g) brown sugar
- ⅓ cup (66g) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (201g) creamy peanut butter not natural
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups (180g) all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, and sugar. Beat with an electric mixer for 1 minute, until smooth and fluffy.1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, 1/2 cup (107g) brown sugar, 1/3 cup (66g) granulated sugar
- Add in the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract, beat again, less than 1 minute.3/4 cup (201g) creamy peanut butter, 1 large egg, 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Add in the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt, mixing on low or with a spatula just until combined. Be careful not to over mix.1 1/2 cups (180g) all purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt
- Use a small cookie scoop to form balls from the dough. Once released from the scoop, roll in hands to form a uniform ball. Place the cookies 2-3 inches apart on a silicone lined baking sheet and bake for 11-13 minutes or until the edges of the cookies begin to just turn golden. My cookie dough balls were 2.5-3 tablespoons large and baked for 12 minutes. Be sure to adjust the baking time for smaller cookies.
- Allow the cookies to cool for 15 minutes.
Notes
Optional: Before baking add a criss cross pattern using a fork, or add chocolate chips or your favorite add in to the batter.
I have made these cookies multiple times with King Arthur’s Gluten Free Measure for Measure Flour with great success.
