These easy Peanut Butter Cookies come together in just one bowl with simple ingredients! They're soft and chewy and freezer friendly!

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup smooth peanut butter (240g -- not natural)
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1 cup sugar (200g)
  • 1 cup brown sugar (205g packed)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all purpose flour (390g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl with an electric mixer (a paddle attachment on a stand mixer works best for this recipe), beat peanut butter and butter until smooth.

  2. 2

    Add sugars and beat on high speed until light and fluffy - 2-3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add eggs and vanilla and beat on low speed until combined.

  4. 4

    Add flour (fluffed and levelled!), baking soda and salt and beat on low speed just until cookie dough comes together.

  5. 5

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper.

  6. 6

    Roll into 1" balls and place 2" apart on baking sheets.

  7. 7

    Press down slightly with fork.

  8. 8

    Bake for 8-10 minutes, just until set (a slight glossy sheen in the very center is okay). Remove and let cool on baking sheets before moving to an air tight container to store.
