Ingredients
- ¾ cup smooth peanut butter (240 grams -- not natural)
- ¾ cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 1 cup sugar (200 grams)
- 1 cup brown sugar (205 grams, packed)
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all purpose flour (390 grams)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl with an electric mixer (a paddle attachment on a stand mixer works best for this recipe), beat peanut butter and butter until smooth.
- Add sugars and beat on high speed until light and fluffy - about 2-3 minutes.
- Add eggs and vanilla and beat on low speed until combined.
- Add flour (fluffed and levelled!), baking soda and salt and beat on low speed just until cookie dough comes together.
- Preheat oven to 350℉ and line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll into 1" balls and place 2" apart on baking sheets.
- Press down slightly with fork.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, just until set (a slight glossy sheen in the very center is okay). Remove and let cool on baking sheets before moving to an air tight container to store.
