Description
These cookies are straight from grandma’s kitchen—soft in the center, crisp at the edges, and full of rich peanut butter flavor. I remember the joy of pressing the crisscross pattern with a fork, knowing the smell of baked goodness was minutes away. A timeless treat that brings smiles with every bite.
Ingredients
1 cup smooth peanut butter
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1¼ cups all-purpose flour
¾ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together peanut butter, butter, sugars, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix into wet ingredients.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on the baking sheet. Flatten each with a fork, making a crisscross pattern.
Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Let cool on a rack.
