Ingredients:

  • 190 g of creamy peanut butter
  • 100 g of softened butter
  • 150 g of white sugar
  • 100 g of brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 180 g of flour
  • 1 teaspoon of baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt
  • A few tablespoons of sugar to roll the cookies (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Mix the peanut butter and softened butter in a large bowl. Add the white sugar and brown sugar, and mix until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
  3. Stir in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well.
  4. In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until a homogeneous dough forms.
  6. Form dough balls about 3 cm in diameter. Roll them in sugar (optional) for a crunchy exterior.
  7. Place the dough balls on the baking sheet, spacing them about 5 cm apart. Slightly flatten each ball with a fork to create a crisscross pattern (classic for peanut butter cookies).
  8. Bake in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden, but the centers remain soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
