Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3/4 C butter at room temperature
  • 3/4 C packed light brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/2 C granulated sugar
  • 1 C  peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 C all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 C granulated sugar (for coating)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350
  • Cream the butter.
  • Add the brown sugar and the 1/2 cup sugar and cream together.
  • Beat in the peanut butter until smooth
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until combined.
  • Mix in the vanilla.
  • Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt and combine well. It's more moist than most cookies, so don't go adding a bunch of extra flour to bring it up to a normal dough, it's perfect just the way it is.
  • Pour the remaining 1/4 C sugar in a small bowl.
  • Take a heaping tablespoon of and form into a ball, I use a #100 scoop.
  • Coat the ball in sugar by rolling it around in the bowl.
  • Place on a cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
  • Press the tines of a fork into the balls to create the cross-cross pattern on the top and to flatten the dough just a bit.
  • Bake 9 to 10 minutes, they'll be super soft but will set as they cool.
