Peanut Butter Cookies
For peanut butter lovers everywhere! These chewy peanut butter cookies are addictively delicious. They have crisp golden edges, crackled tops, and chewy centers.
Equipment
- Silicone baking mats or parchment paper
- Cookie scoop
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) unsalted butter room temperature
- ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled*
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a sheet pan with a silicone baking mat or piece of parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter, peanut butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, 3 minutes. Alternatively, you can use a large bowl and a hand mixer.
- Add the egg and beat until incorporated.
- Add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and kosher salt to the mixture. Beat until incorporated and a cookie dough forms.
- Use a small cookie scoop to scoop six 1.5 inch cookies onto the prepared sheet pan. Give the cookies some space so they can spread.
- Bake for 11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the middles look underdone. Let the cookies cool on the sheet pan for at least 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Repeat with the remaining cookie dough.
Notes
* Use a spoon to scoop the flour into the measuring cup, then level if off with the flat edge of a butter knife.
