With just a few simple ingredients, you’ll be indulging in warm, gooey goodness in no time – and the best part?

They’re ready in just 10-12 minutes!

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 sticks of unsalted butter (6 tablespoons), at room temperature
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and peanut butter until smooth and creamy.

Gradually add the white granulated sugar and brown sugar, beating until well combined.

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

Scoop out rounded tablespoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown.

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Yield: 7 delicious peanut butter cookies, ready to be devoured!

Notes

Make sure to use room temperature butter for the best results – it’ll help the peanut butter and sugar mix smoothly.

Don’t overmix the dough, or your cookies might end up tough.

You can also chill the dough in the fridge for up to 2 hours if you want a crisper cookie.

If you prefer a chewier cookie, bake for 8-10 minutes instead.

These cookies are best consumed within 3 days of baking, so be sure to store them in an airtight container.

You can also freeze them for up to 2 months – just thaw at room temperature when you’re ready to indulge.
