American · Dessert · 20 min total

Classic peanut butter cookies with a soft, chewy center and crisscross fork marks. Easy to make with pantry staples.

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

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Mix in vanilla and peanut butter until smooth.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
5. 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.
6. 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.
