Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Additional granulated sugar for rolling
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix in the vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to dense cookies.
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls.
If desired, roll each ball in additional granulated sugar to coat the outside for a slightly crunchy exterior.
Arrange the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
The centers may appear slightly underdone, but they will continue to set as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Once the cookies are completely cooled, enjoy these soft and delicious peanut butter cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage.
Feel free to customize the recipe by adding chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or any other mix-ins of your choice.
Enjoy your soft peanut butter cookies!
