Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (, divided)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter (, softened)
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 6 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ⅛ teaspoon baking powder

Instruction

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a medium sized baking sheet with a silicone baking liner or parchment paper.
  • In a medium sized mixing bowl, cream together 2 1/2 tablespoons of the sugar, the brown sugar, peanut butter, butter, and egg yolk until well combined.
  • Add flour, baking soda, and baking powder and mix until combined. (The dough will be crumbly at first, continue mixing until the dough comes together).
  • Scoop dough out with a tablespoon or a cookie scoop and shape into balls. Place on baking sheet and space them 2-inches apart.
  • Pour the remaining sugar in a bowl. Dip a fork into the sugar, then flatten each cookie slightly with the sugar coated fork. Then, turn fork in the opposite direction and flatten just slightly again creating a criss-cross pattern.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes.
  • Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
