Cookie Ingredients

  • ½ cup softened unsalted butter
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter not the unsweetened kind

Baking Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 350° F. In a standing mixer with paddle attachment, cream together the butter and peanut butter. Beat in the sugars until light, about 3 minutes.
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla, scraping down the bowl to ensure even incorporation. Add the salt, baking soda, and flour, and beat just until combined.
  • Give the dough one last fold with a spatula. Chill the dough and roll into balls (¾-inch diameter), or scoop heaping teaspoonfuls onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spaced 2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie with a fork dipped in flour to create a crosshatch pattern.
  • Bake for about 10 minutes, until lightly golden and firm around the edges. Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer to a baking rack to cool completely. Best while fresh!

Notes

These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for several days.
