Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
- Using a fork, gently press down on each cookie to create a crisscross pattern, dipping the fork into sugar or flour to prevent sticking.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, serve and enjoy these classic Peanut Butter Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage.
Note: These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, but they’re so delicious, they probably won’t last that long!
