Soft Peanut Butter Cookie is the best peanut butter cookie recipe that I've ever eaten (or made). They're soft and chewy and so simple to make.

Ingredients

  • 1 cupunsalted butter
  • 1 cupbrown sugar (- i use dark but light is fine.)
  • 1 cupsugar
  • 1 cuppeanut butter (- creamy variety)
  • 2eggs (- grade a, large)
  • 1 tspvanilla
  • 3 cupsflour
  • ½ tspsalt
  • 1 tspbaking powder
  • 1 tspbaking soda

Directions

  1. 1

    Using an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time mixing between each addition. Add the vanilla and peanut butter and mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    In a medium-sized bowl, add the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder together. Whisk to combine.

  3. 3

    With the mixer on low, spoon in the dry ingredients, scraping down the sides as necessary. When no flour is visible, cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before baking.

  4. 4

    To bake, preheat the oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

  5. 5

    Using a 1-1/2 tablespoon scoop, scoop the dough and roll it into balls. Roll the balls in white sugar and put them on a baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Using a fork, gently press each ball vertically and then horizontally.

  6. 6

    Bake for 10 to 13 minutes or until the cookies are lightly browned on the edges. Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet and then carefully transfer them to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
