Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe
We have taken this classic cookie and added a bit of crunch to make it our new favorite way to make Peanut Butter Cookies!
Servings: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup (250 g) creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup (125 g) chunky peanut butter
- ½ cup (1 stick / 113g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1¼ cups (160 g) all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar, for rolling cookies
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190 degrees C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the peanut butters, butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well blended.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; stir into creamed mixture.
- Scoop dough into balls. (I used a 3-tablespoon scoop). Roll each dough ball in granulated sugar.
- Place cookies 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
- Press each ball once with crisscrossing fork tines.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are lightly browned. Do not overbake!
