Ingredients

The following ingredients have 24 Servings
  • 1 stick unsalted butter (1/2 cup, room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter (not natural)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, and sugar. Beat with an electric mixer for 1 minute, until smooth and fluffy.
  • Add in the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract, beat again, less than 1 minute.
  • Add in the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt, mixing on low or with a spatula just until combined. Be careful not to over mix.
  • Use a small cookie scoop to form balls from the dough. Once released from the scoop, roll in hands to form a uniform ball. Place the cookies 2-3 inches apart on a silicone lined baking sheet and bake for 11-13 minutes or until the edges of the cookies begin to just turn golden. My cookie dough balls were 2.5-3 tablespoons large and baked for 12 minutes. Be sure to adjust the baking time for smaller cookies.
  • Allow the cookies to cool for 15 minutes.
