Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed tight
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Mix the creamy peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until combined.
- Incorporate the dry ingredients by stirring together the baking soda and salt in a separate bowl, then gradually add to the peanut butter mixture until a dough forms.
- Shape the dough into balls and place them on a lined baking sheet, pressing down with a fork for a crisscross pattern.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden.
- Cool the cookies on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Notes
Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing and texture. Don’t overbake—remove them when still slightly underbaked for chewy cookies.
