Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Sweeteners:
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare workspace by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper and heating oven to 350F (175C).
- In a spacious mixing bowl, combine softened butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whip vigorously until the mixture becomes airy and pale, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Introduce eggs individually, thoroughly blending after each addition. Incorporate vanilla extract, stirring until the mixture achieves a uniform consistency.
- Separately, sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a clean bowl, ensuring even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Gradually fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture, gently mixing until a cohesive dough forms. Avoid overmixing to maintain cookie tenderness.
- Portion dough into golf ball-sized rounds, spacing them two inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Gently press each ball with a fork, creating a distinctive crosshatch pattern.
- Place cookies in the preheated oven, baking for 10-12 minutes until edges turn golden while centers remain soft and slightly yielding.
- Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack for complete cooling. Serve at room temperature or slightly warm for maximum enjoyment.
Notes
- Softened butter ensures smooth mixing and helps create a lighter, fluffier cookie texture.
- Avoid overmixing the dough to prevent tough, dense cookies that lack the signature soft and chewy consistency.
- Use room temperature eggs for better incorporation and more even baking throughout the cookies.
- For gluten-free options, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend to maintain the cookie’s delicate structure.
