Ingredients
Scale
For the Cookies:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the peanut butter, butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Shape and Bake: Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of dough and roll into balls. Place them 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Use a fork to lightly press down and create a crisscross pattern.
- Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers remain soft.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
