Instructions
Creating Peanut Butter Cookies is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Peanut Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.
3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Ensure everything is well combined.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, and flour. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
5. Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop out dough and roll it into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
6. Flatten the Cookies: Using the back of a fork, gently press down on each dough ball to create a crisscross pattern.
7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
8. Cool on a Rack: Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
