# Ingredients:
→ Wet Ingredients
01 -
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
02 -
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
03 -
1/2 cup granulated sugar
04 -
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
05 -
1 large egg
06 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Dry Ingredients
07 -
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
08 -
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
09 -
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
10 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
03 -
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
04 -
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
05 -
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The dough should be soft and pliable.
06 -
Roll portions of dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Use a fork to create the classic crisscross pattern by gently pressing down on each ball of dough.
07 -
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The cookies will continue to set as they cool.
08 -
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This step ensures that they achieve their perfect texture – slightly crispy on the edges and wonderfully chewy in the center.
