Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter, at room temperature
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 and 1/4 cups light brown sugar, packed
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (bleached or unbleached will work fine)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (kosher or table salt)

Instruction

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or in a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer, beat the butter until smooth and creamy. Add in the peanut butter and vanilla and beat until smooth; about 2 minutes. Add in both sugars and beat until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides as needed, about 2 minutes. Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Turn mixer off. Add in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk the ingredients together lightly before turning the mixer back on low and mixing in the dry ingredients until just combined. Be sure not to over mix here. Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge for 1 hour, or up to 2 days. If you refrigerate the cookie dough for more than an hour, you may need to let it thaw a little before scooping.
