Time 23m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ½ cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup creamy peanut butter
½ cup butter (room temperature)
¾ cup brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar ((plus 2 tablespoons for rolling))
1 large egg
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and very lightly grease a baking sheet or line with a baking mat.

  • In a large bowl cream together butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy. Mix in egg and vanilla until blended.
  • Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until combined (do not over mix). Roll dough into balls (two regular size cookie scoops or about 3 tablespoons, the balls should be fairly big - this is the key to a super soft texture!)

  • Bake for 8-9 minutes - DO NOT OVER BAKE. The cookies should just begin to crack on top. Allow to cool 1-2 minutes on baking sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack. Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 5 days (they are softest on day 1 and 2!).

Tips:

  • Use high-quality peanut butter for the best flavor. If you can, find a brand that is made with just peanuts and salt, without any added sugar or oil.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help them get crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and texture.
