Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies
These Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies are absolutely divine! They are so soft and chewy with a rich peanut butter flavor, and the best part is they are quick and easy to bake! It’s the perfect late-night snack.
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted, melted butter
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ½ cup peanut butter
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1½ cups flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F and grease or line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the melted butter and sugars together until combined.
- Add the egg and vanilla and mix until the egg is fully incorporated into the wet mixture.
- Add the peanut butter and mix until well combined.
- With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop drop each cookie dough dollop about 2 inches apart. If you don’t have a cookie scoop, roll the cookie dough into a 1-inch ball. Then using the prongs of a fork, lightly flatten the ball and make a criss-cross design on the top. Don’t use the fork if you’re using a cookie scoop.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes. Sometimes, if the cookies are looking a little too thick, I use a spatula or flipper to flatten them down a little when they come out of the oven.
- Transfer to a cooling rack to finish cooling before transferring them to an airtight container or plastic bag.
