Soft in the center, lightly crisp on the edges, and packed with nutty goodness—these classic peanut butter cookies never go out of style. This double batch brings enough to share (or stash!), and we’re adding a few creative touches to make them pop with flavor and texture.
1 cup smooth peanut butter
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1¼ cups all-purpose flour
¾ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together peanut butter, butter, sugars, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix into wet ingredients.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on the baking sheet. Flatten each with a fork, making a crisscross pattern.
Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Let cool on a rack.
