Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe

Ingredients:

1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup of granulated sugar

1/2 cup of packed brown sugar

1 large egg

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, sifted

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that the oven is ready when you’re done preparing the cookie dough.

Prepare the Wet Ingredients:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or a wooden spoon to mix the ingredients until smooth and well combined.

Incorporate the Dry Ingredients:

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing well after each addition. Continue mixing until a uniform cookie dough forms.

Shape the Cookies:

Take portions of the dough and roll them into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. Place the dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced about 2 inches apart.

Press with a Fork:

Dip a fork into sugar or flour to prevent sticking, then use the fork to gently press down on each cookie ball, creating a crisscross pattern on the top of each cookie.

Bake in Preheated Oven:

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Keep a close eye on them, as baking times can vary depending on your oven.

Cooling Process:

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. This helps them set before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. The cooling process ensures the cookies achieve the perfect texture.
