Peanut Butter Cookies




These cookies far exceeded my expectations!
These were the first peanut butter cookies I have eaten
that were moist and chewy, which is the way I like my cookies!
In my opinion, most peanut butter cookies tend to be dry, but not 
these ones!

As Always,
ENJOY!

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup butter, softened 
  • 2 cups creamy peanut butter 
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar 
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar 
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat together the butter and peanut butter until light and fluffy.
  • Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar and mix until combined. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until creamy.
  • Add the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
  • Scoop the dough and roll into 1 1/2 - 2-inch balls. Place on parchment-  placing them a couple inches apart.
  • Bake for 10 minutes until puffed. 
  • Remove from the oven and immediately press each cookie to flatten slightly with the bottom of a flat drinking glass. Don’t flatten the cookies to smithereens, just press the puffed part down until the cookies are an even thickness.
  • Scoop onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
