Servings 10 people
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 stick butter 1/2 cup
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, cream peanut butter, butter, and white and brown sugars. Cream until smooth. Add egg and vanilla. Mix well.
- In another bowl, mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Using a slow speed on your mixer, slowly combine the flour mixture with the peanut butter mixture. Mix until combined.
- Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, roll the dough into balls and place them on the baking sheet. Use the back of a fork and press down each ball to flatten. Use criss-cross patterns.
- Bake 8-9 minutes. Let cool slightly on the baking sheet and then transfer to a cooling rack.
Notes
These are very soft cookies. Handle gently.
Store in an airtight container. I usually keep mine in a zip-top bag on the kitchen counter. They go fast...no need to keep out of sight.
