Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar, for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and peanut butter until smooth.
- Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the butter mixture and beat until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Place the powdered sugar in a shallow dish.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
- Roll each ball in the powdered sugar until evenly coated.
- Place the coated balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a stronger peanut butter flavor, use natural peanut butter.
- Ensure your butter is truly softened for the creamiest dough.
- Don’t overbake; the cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
