Perfect Peanut Butter Cookies!

An oldie but a goodie! Peanut butter cookies are the perfect combination of sweet and salty! They combine that delicious nuttiness of peanut butter with the chewiness of a cookie and it’s pretty much perfection! These cookies are crispy with a soft, chewy centre, but if you like the crispier bake them for a minute or two longer, and if you like them chewier, pull them out a minute or two earlier.

soft and perfect!

Peanut Butter Cookies

Yield: 8-12 depending on how large you scoop them

Preheat your oven to 350*F

  • 1/4 cup Butter, soft

  • 1/4 cup Peanut Butter

  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar

  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda

  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla (optional)

  • 1 Egg

  • 3/4 cup Flour

  • Granulated Sugar for sprinkling on top (optional)

  1. In the bowl of your mixer, whip together the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, vanilla, baking soda and salt until fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.

  2. Add in your one egg, and continue whipping for about 1 minute, or until combined and fluffy.

  3. Add your flour into the mixture and mix until combined, being sure to scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl to get any chunks of butter combined.

  4. Scoop onto a parchment lined baking tray (or if you don’t have a liner, just spray with baking spray oil. I used a ice cream scoop but you can just use a spoon. Leave at least 2” between cookies so they don’t bake into each other.

  5. Sprinkle the tops of your cookies with granulated sugar for a little extra crunch and sparkle!

  6. Bake in a preheated 350*F oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden.

  7. Let cool and eat!
