Equipment
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Hand or Stand Mixer
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
- 2 eggs
- 3 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup sugar for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, cream together butter, sugars and peanut butter.
- Add eggs, flour, baking soda and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- Roll dough into 1 inch balls, roll in additional sugar, place on ungreased cookie sheet and use a fork to make a criss-cross design on top.
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
- For softer peanut butter cookies, don’t flatten them with the fork. They will be puffier and softer.
- For crispier peanut butter cookies, use a fork to flatten the dough balls.
- Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before rolling into balls for a chewier peanut butter cookie.
- To soften your butter, you can set it at room temperature for at least an hour or put it in the microwave on defrost for four seconds at a time, just until it’s soft.
