Peanut Butter Cookies

Peanut butter cookies are one of my ultimate cravings—I love their rich, creamy, and irresistibly peanut-buttery flavor. These cookies have a soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture that makes them simply perfect. This is my go-to recipe whenever I’m in the mood for the perfect peanut butter treat!

Ingredients:

1/2 tsp. Baking Soda

1 tsp. Baking Powder

2 1/2 cups Unbleached Flour

1/2 tsp. Celtic Salt

1 cup Butter (at room temperature)

1 cup Cane Sugar

1 cup Brown Sugar

1 cup Peanut Butter

1 1/2 tsp. Vanilla Extract

2 eggs

Instructions:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, add the baking soda, baking powder, flour, and salt and stir well.
  • To a large mixing bowl, add the vanilla extract, eggs, peanut butter, brown sugar, cane sugar and room-temperature butter.
  • Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir together until well incorporated.
  • Drop by the rounded tablespoon onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
  • Use a fork to gently squash down each cookie leaving fork scores across the cookie. Turn the fork the opposite direction and press down leaving tic-tac-toe type lines on each cookie.
  • Sprinkle each cookie lightly with cane sugar.
  • Place in the preheated over and bake for 8-10 minutes.
  • Allow to cool.
  • Enjoy!
