- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the peanut butter mixture, mixing well after each addition.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Using a fork, gently press a crisscross pattern onto each dough ball, flattening them slightly.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Repeat the baking process with the remaining dough.
- Serve and enjoy!
