Peanut Butter Cookies

Peanut butter cookies are salty, sweet, and more rich than a chocolate chip cookie ever could be. We're suckers for the classic fork crosshatch look, but you can totally skip it. (Ready for the next level? Make peanut butter STUFFED cookies.)

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 c. (300 g.) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 c. (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 c. (215 g.) packed light brown sugar
  • 1 c. (200 g.) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 c. creamy peanut butter

Direction

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, using a handheld mixer on medium speed, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until very fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating to blend after each addition. Add peanut butter and continue to beat until smooth and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes more.
  2. Add dry ingredients in 3 batches and beat on medium-low speed, scraping down sides of bowl as needed, until no dry streaks remain. Refrigerate batter until very cold, about 1 hour.
  3. Preheat oven to 350° and line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Drop tablespoons of dough on prepared sheets, spacing about 2" apart. Using a fork, score top of dough with a crosshatch pattern.
  4. Bake cookies until golden, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer to wire rack and let cool.
