Peanut Butter Cookies

  

This isn't your typical fork-pressed, three-ingredient peanut butter cookie, which is good. These are better!

 

Ingredients

7.5 ounces by weight of all-purpose flour 1.5 cups

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

3/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup creamy peanut butter

 

Directions

Heat the oven to a temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium mixing basin.

In a separate medium mixing bowl, beat together the butter, sugar, and brown sugar with a hand mixer for approximately 60 seconds, or until frothy and light.

For around thirty seconds, mix the egg and vanilla essence.

Mix in the peanut butter for thirty seconds more, or until incorporated.

Mix only until the flour is integrated after adding the dry components to the wet. Be careful not to overmix.

Scoop out scoops of dough directly onto a baking sheet using a medium cookie scoop. Total dough yield should be roughly 24 scoops divided between two baking sheets.

Bake for a total of thirteen minutes or until the rims are brown but the center remains soft. Allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. They are extremely delicious when served warm in the oven.
