Enjoy these delightful chewy peanut butter cookies, a classic treat perfect for any occasion. Lina Kohn from Gourmet Gusto shares her simple recipe for a warm, comforting bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the peanut butter and sugar until well combined.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the baking soda and salt. Add this to the peanut butter mixture and stir until just combined.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Use a fork to gently press down on each cookie, creating a crisscross pattern.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For an extra peanut butter flavor, use chunky peanut butter.
- You can add chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the dough for variation.
- Ensure your baking soda is fresh for the best chewy texture.
- Do not overbake, as this will make the cookies crispier rather than chewy.
