How to Make Betty Crocker Peanut Butter Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 cup creamy peanut butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until smooth.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dough to firm up.
  7. Once chilled, roll the dough into 1 ¼-inch balls.
  8. Place the balls about 3 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
  9. Use a fork dipped in granulated sugar to create a crisscross pattern on top of each cookie.
  10. Bake for 9-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
