Feast your eyes on this beauty:
Ingredients you’ll need:
- 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy, your choice)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, but encouraged)
Instructions to cookie heaven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to keep things easy when it’s time to remove the cookies.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to mix until everything is smooth and well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract. Make sure everything is fully blended!
- Next, sprinkle in the baking soda and salt. Mix until just incorporated.
- If you’re feelin’ a little chocolatey, now’s the time to fold in those chocolate chips.
- Using a cookie scoop or your hands, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space in between each cookie.
- Press down lightly with a fork in a crisscross pattern for that classic peanut butter cookie look.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look set.
- Once baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Trust me, the aroma alone is worth the wait!
There you have it, folks! Chewy peanut butter cookies that will have you comin’ back for seconds…and maybe thirds! Serve them up with a nice cold glass of milk, and you’re in for a treat! Enjoy every single bite!
