Thick and Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies

Here’s a simple recipe for thick and chewy peanut butter cookies using your ingredients:

Thick and Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar, gently packed
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.
  2. Cream the butter, sugars, and peanut butter: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and peanut butter until light and fluffy. You can use an electric mixer or beat by hand.
  3. Add egg and vanilla: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture and continue to beat until fully incorporated.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Mix dry ingredients with wet ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Shape the dough: Scoop about 1-1½ tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. You can lightly press each cookie ball down with a fork, making a crisscross pattern.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
  8. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Enjoy your delicious, thick, and chewy peanut butter cookies!
