I'll be honest, Peanut Butter Cookies are rarely my first choice in cookies. In fact, I usually make them when I'm down to bare bones in the baking cupboard. However, every time I do make this classic cookie, I'm pleasantly surprised. Even though eating the dough is my favorite part, there's just something about that crusty sugar coating over the criss-crossed fork marked tops that takes me back to being a kid. I hope you enjoy this comfort cookie as much as my family and friends do!
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar (packed)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
Ingredients
1/2 cup peanut butter1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar (packed)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat peanut butter and butter with an electric mixer on medium to high for 30 seconds, till light and smooth. Add half the flour, the sugars, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in the egg and vanilla until will combined. Beat in the remaining flour. Cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes, or until easy to handle.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in granulated sugar and place balls, 2 inches apart, on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten each cookie by making crisscross marks with fork times, dipping fork in sugar between each cookie. Bake for about 8 minutes or until lightly brown at the edges. Cool on wire racks. Makes about 3 dozen delicious cookies.
