  • 1

Ingredients

  • 1 C butter room temp
  • 1 C Granulated sugar
  • 3/4 C brown sugar
  • 1 C peanut butter
  • 3 C flour
  • 2 Large eggs room temp
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/3 c sugar for rolling

Preparation

Step 1


Directions

Preheat oven to 350º F

In a large bowl, cream (with paddle attachment if using a stand mixer) together the butter and sugars on medium speed until smooth.

Slowly add in the eggs and mix on high, making sure to scrape the sides of the bowl. Mix until combined, around 1 minute.

Add in the peanut butter and vanilla, and mix until incorporated and smooth.

In a separate bowl, sift the dry ingredients together. Pour into egg/peanut butter mixture and mix on low. It’s okay if dough is thick and sticky.

Cover and chill in refrigerator for 2-4 hrs.

When ready to bake line cookie sheets with parchment.

Form balls out of the dough (balls should be comprised of about 1-1 1/2 tablespoons of dough) and roll in a bowl of granulated sugar. This will add shine to your cookies.

Place 2 inches apart on baking sheet and press the tines of a fork into the cookies to form criss-cross patter on top.

Bake until very light brown about 10-11 mins.
