Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • ¾ cup smooth peanut butter (not natural)
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instruction

  • In a large bowl with an electric mixer (a paddle attachment on a stand mixer works best for this recipe), beat peanut butter and butter until smooth.
  • Add sugars and beat on high speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add eggs and vanilla and beat on low speed until combined.
  • Add flour (fluffed and leveled!), baking soda and salt and beat on low speed just until cookie dough comes together.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Roll into 1" balls and place 2" apart on baking sheets. Press down slightly with fork.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes, just until set (a slight glossy sheen in the very center is okay). Remove and let cool on baking sheets before moving to an air tight container to store.
