The Ultimate Peanut Butter Cookie Guide
Indulge in the perfect balance of sweetness and nuttiness with these classic peanut butter cookies. Easy to make and irresistibly delicious, these cookies are a comforting treat for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- A pinch of salt
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt. Mix until a smooth cookie dough forms.
- Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, portion the dough and roll it into balls. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Using a fork, gently press down on each cookie ball to create a crisscross pattern on top.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake to maintain a soft center.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your freshly baked peanut butter cookies with a glass of cold milk or a cup of hot tea.
