Peanut butter cookies

Peanut butter cookies are a classic and delicious treat that many people love. Here’s a simple recipe for you to try:

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Scoop out dough using a cookie scoop or tablespoon and roll it into balls. Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each.
  7. Use a fork to create a crisscross pattern on the top of each cookie, flattening them slightly.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Keep in mind that the cookies will continue to set as they cool.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Enjoy your homemade peanut butter cookies!
