How to Make Grandma's E Z Peanut Butter Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup creamy peanut butter, ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar.
- Beat with an electric mixer (or mix vigorously by hand) until smooth and creamy.
- Add 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
- Gradually add 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking soda. Mix until just combined – be careful not to overmix!
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls.
- Place balls 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
- Dip a fork in granulated sugar and press it into each ball to create a criss-cross pattern.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown. The centers should still be slightly soft.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
