Thick and Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies
Ingredients:
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together peanut butter, butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
Scoop 2 tablespoons of dough and roll into balls. Place on prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten the tops with your fingers or the bottom of a glass.
Bake for 10–12 minutes or until edges are set but centers are still soft.
Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
