How to Make Best Peanut Butter Cookies Ever
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the peanut butter until evenly distributed.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Flatten each ball slightly with a fork, creating a criss-cross pattern.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
