Ingredients
  

Cookie Ingredients
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter Ensure it's creamy for best texture.
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until it forms a smooth blend.
  3. Crack in the egg, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the peanut butter mixture, stirring until just combined.
  5. Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them spaced about 2 inches apart on a lined baking sheet.
  6. With the back of a fork, press each ball down a bit to create a crisscross pattern.
  7. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden.
  8. Remove 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.

Notes

Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking. You can microwave them for 10-15 seconds to regain a fresh-baked texture.
