Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup salted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instruction

  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and the sugars until creamy and smooth.
  • Add in the peanut butter, eggs and vanilla extract, then beat until smooth.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and baking powder until combined.
  • Add the dry mixture into the butter mixture and mix in well.
  • Chill in the fridge for an hour.
  • Preheat your oven to 375 °F.
  • Shape the dough into small golf ball sized rounds.
  • Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
  • Now, you can flatten each ball by crisscrossing with the tines of a fork as is custom. You can ALSO do what I did and use a meat mallet to press them down. My meat mallet is circular so it's perfect for cookies. You can use a square one to press down the cookies as well.
  • Bake at 375° for 11-13 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned and cookies are well baked. Don't let them brown too much, but do bake them as much as possible.
  • Remove and cool on the baking sheets completely.
  • Enjoy!
