Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This is the moment your kitchen truly awakens. Feel that energy!
- In a mixing bowl, blend together the peanut butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until it’s all creamy and smooth—the consistency should remind you of a dreamy peanut butter cloud!
- Add the eggs and vanilla into the mix. Stir until well combined, like a team of merry little cookie elves working together.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet batter, and mix just until combined. Fight the urge to eat the batter—it’s hard, but trust me on this one.
- Once your dough is ready, drop rounded tablespoons onto a baking sheet. If you’re feeling fancy, use a fork to create that signature crisscross pattern on top. It’s the little things in life!
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden. If you like them soft, take them out a little earlier, but don’t burn them or you’ll be battling the cookie gremlins.
- Allow them to cool for a minute on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack. Go ahead, take a moment to admire your masterpiece!
And just like that, you have created an incredible batch of old-fashioned peanut butter cookies that are sure to become a household favorite. Share them with friends, family, or just keep them all for yourself—no judgment here. Happy baking!
