Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies
The perfect peanut butter cookie that's chewy on the inside and crispy on the edges.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (258 g) creamy peanut butter not natural
- 1 cup (227 g) butter room temperature
- 1½ cups (330 g) brown sugar
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1½ teaspoon (1.5 teaspoon) baking soda
- 2½ cups (350 g) all-purpose flour
- extra sugar for rolling
Instructions
- Place the peanut butter, butter and sugars together in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat about 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mix until smooth on low speed. Beat in vanilla.
- Slowly mix in dry ingredients, being careful not to over mix. I usually stop when I still have some flour remnants around the bowl.
- Using a large cookie scoop, (I use a 3 TBSP) scoop dough into balls and place on a large cookie sheet. Chill dough for 3 or more hours if you have the time. They will taste better and spread less this way.
- Preheat oven to 375 F. Line two cookie sheets with parchement paper.
- Roll cookie dough balls in granulated sugar.
- Place 6-8 balls per sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are slightly golden brown. Let cool on the cookie sheet for 5-10 minutes to help the center finish setting.
Notes
These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for 2-3 days, or months in the freezer.
I like to sprinkle extra sugar on top of the cookies after they bake for an extra pretty look. And if you know me, sometimes a little salt too!
I have given both cups and grams as measurements. Grams will be more precise, especially when measuring flour. If you don’t have a kitchen scale, no problem! Just lightly spoon flour into your measuring cup to insure its not packed in there. Light and fluffy is the key.
