Zubereitungszeit ca. 23 MinutenVorbereitung ca. 15 MinutenKochzeit ca. 8 Minuten
Zutaten:
- 1 ½ cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup butter (room temperature)
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar ((plus 2 tablespoons for rolling))
- 1 large egg
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
Arbeitsschritte:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and very lightly grease a baking sheet or line with a baking mat.
- In a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl cream together butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy. Mix in egg and vanilla until blended.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until combined (do not over mix). Roll dough into balls (two regular size cookie scoops or about 3 tablespoons, the balls should be fairly big - this is the key to a super soft texture!)
- Roll cookie dough balls in remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, then place on baking sheet 2-3 inches apart. Use a fork to gently press a criss-cross pattern into each cookie dough ball, only pressing ball down about half way.
- Bake for 8-9 minutes - DO NOT OVER BAKE. The cookies should just begin to crack on top. Allow to cool 1-2 minutes on baking sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack. Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 5 days (they are softest on day 1 and 2!).
