Description
Enjoy these delightful Easy Peanut Butter Cookies that combine creamy peanut butter with brown sugar and vanilla, making them an irresistible treat!
Ingredients
- Peanut Butter: The key ingredient that gives the cookies their signature flavor and texture. Use creamy or crunchy, based on your preference.
- Granulated Sugar: Adds sweetness and a slight crispiness to the cookies.
- Brown Sugar: Enhances the moistness and flavor depth, promising deliciously chewy cookies.
- Egg: Binds the ingredients together and helps create that perfect cookie texture.
- Vanilla Extract: Adds a warm flavor that complements the peanut butter beautifully.
- Baking Soda: Provides the leavening needed for a light, fluffy cookie.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, baking soda, and vanilla extract. Mix until well-blended.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop dough and roll into balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Press the tops of the cookie dough balls with a fork to create a crisscross pattern.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- For softer cookies, slightly underbake them.
- Chill the dough for about 30 minutes if it’s too soft to handle.
