How to Make Molasses Peanut Butter Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 cup creamy peanut butter until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add 1 ½ cups granulated sugar and ¾ cup packed brown sugar, creaming until well combined.
- Beat in ½ cup molasses, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 large egg, and ¼ cup milk until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Lightly press down on each cookie with a dampened fork or the bottom of a glass covered with a damp cloth to create a criss-cross pattern.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
