Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 cup (220 g) light brown sugar
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 2 cups (516 g) creamy peanut butter
- 2 (2) eggs room temperature
- 2 tsp (2 tsp) vanilla extract
- 3 cups (375 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp (1 tsp) baking soda
- 1 tsp (1 tsp) salt
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar for rolling the cookies
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F (177℃) . Line baking sheet pans with silicone baking mats or parchment paper sheets.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or in a large mixing bowl with an electric hand mixer, cream the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the peanut butter and mix until smooth. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until well combined and smooth.
- Add in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix on low speed until the cookie dough forms.
- Portion the cookie dough with a large cookie scoop (3 tablespoons). Roll the cookie dough ball in between your hands to create a smooth sphere. Then, roll the cookie dough balls in granulated sugar. Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared sheet pans, allowing room for spreading. Use a fork to gently press a criss-cross pattern into the cookies.
- Bake the cookies for about 12 minutes until the edges are set. Remove the baking pan from the oven and cool the cookies on the pan for 2 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool.
Notes
- Store the peanut butter cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 to 3 days.
