The Perfect Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe
Now, let's dive into the recipe itself. Preparing these delectable cookies is a straightforward process, but there are a few key steps that will ensure your cookies turn out perfectly every time.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and peanut butter until well combined. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar, and beat until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Scoop the dough by the tablespoonful and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Using a fork, gently press down on each cookie to create the classic peanut butter cookie criss-cross pattern.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Variations and Serving Suggestions
While the classic peanut butter cookie is a true delight, there are plenty of ways to put your own spin on this beloved treat. Try adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top for a delightful sweet-and-salty contrast, or mix in some chopped peanuts for an extra crunchy texture.
For a festive twist, you can roll the dough balls in granulated sugar or coat them in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar before baking. The possibilities are endless!
These peanut butter cookies are the perfect accompaniment to a tall glass of cold milk, but they also make a wonderful addition to any dessert spread. Serve them alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent treat, or pack them up in a pretty tin as a thoughtful homemade gift.
