Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Mix in vanilla and peanut butter until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Flatten each ball with a fork in a crisscross pattern.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Cool on sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks.
Tips
- For extra crunch, use chunky peanut butter.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
- Dough can be refrigerated for up to 3 days before baking.
