These incredibly simple peanut Butter Cookies are fantastic. They have a deliciously soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture and are bursting with peanut butter flavor. They also have the ideal ratio of salty and sweet flavors. There’s a reason why this cookie is a classic.

They’re incredibly simple to create and may be made days in advance at any time for instant enjoyment. The hardest part is having the patience to wait until they have a chance to set up after being taken out of the oven.

WHAT’S THE BEST PEANUT BUTTER TO USE FOR THESE COOKIES?

  • I use smooth, salty peanut butter for the greatest results.
  • Although it’s not necessary, sweetened peanut butter will work just fine if that’s what you have on hand. You may want to reduce the sugar by 2 tablespoons, though.
  • After opening the container, stir the peanut butter thoroughly if you’re using a natural variety without stabilizers. That jar’s oily top will result in extremely runny cookies.
  • The recipe for peanut butter cookies works well with any brand that you prefer!

    INGREDIENTS:

    • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 180g
    • 1/2 cup butter unsalted, room temp 113g
    • 1 cup peanut butter 250g
    • 1/2 cup brown sugar 100g, lightly packed
    • 1/2 cup sugar 100g
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract 5mL
    • 1 egg large, room temp
    • 3/4 tsp baking powder 3g

    INSTRUCTIONS:

    • Heat the oven to 350°F.
    • Flour and baking powder should be combined by sifting them together.
    • Using a paddle attachment on a stand mixer, cream the butter and sugars. Optionally, add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoons of sea salt.
    • After adding, integrate peanut butter completely.
    • Add the egg and vanilla extract, whisk, and then add the flour mixture.
    • Put the dough on a baking sheet that has been parchment paper-lined and form one-inch balls.
    • With a fork, crisscross cookies to flatten them.
    • For around ten minutes, bake the cookies.
    • Cookies need time to set up before being moved, so let them cool completely on the baking sheet.

    Notes

    • The cookies will be baked till nearly done. When you take them out of the oven, they’ll settle in and keep baking thanks to the interior heat.
  • They will be extremely soft right out of the oven, so give them some time to cool; after they are firm enough to handle, they will taste quite good.
  • Add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the batter if your peanut butter isn’t particularly salty.
