Time 23m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ½ cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup creamy peanut butter
½ cup butter (room temperature)
¾ cup brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar ((plus 2 tablespoons for rolling))
1 large egg
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and very lightly grease a baking sheet or line with a baking mat.
  • In a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl cream together butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy. Mix in egg and vanilla until blended.
  • Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until combined (do not over mix). Roll dough into balls (two regular size cookie scoops or about 3 tablespoons, the balls should be fairly big - this is the key to a super soft texture!)
  • Roll cookie dough balls in remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, then place on baking sheet 2-3 inches apart. Use a fork to gently press a criss-cross pattern into each cookie dough ball, only pressing ball down about half way.
  • Bake for 8-9 minutes - DO NOT OVER BAKE. The cookies should just begin to crack on top. Allow to cool 1-2 minutes on baking sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack. Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 5 days (they are softest on day 1 and 2!).

LIGHT AND SOFT PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

I never liked how peanut butter cookies turned out. They were always too greasy-feeling or too hard and never were soft a few days later. After a lot of trial and error batches, now I get rave reviews from these cookies. They are very rich and soft for those who do not like the typical crunchy style of peanut butter cookies. They do take a bit of time to prepare and cook but very much worth the wait. I used reduced-fat peanut butter in both crunchy and creamy to make for a rich-tasting cookie with more peanut flavor and a less greasy feeling on your hand.
