Servings: 24 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1/4 cup white sugar plus more for rolling
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the creamy peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form the dough into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Roll in additional white sugar and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Using a fork, press down on each cookie ball to create a crisscross pattern.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
