The BEST Soft and Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies are the perfect treat for any occasion, combining a rich peanut butter flavor with an incredibly soft and chewy texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar, mixing until smooth.
  3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, then mix until well combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Flatten each ball slightly with a fork, creating a crisscross pattern on top.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft.
  9. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a more indulgent flavor, add chocolate chips to the dough.
  • Allow cookies to rest for a few minutes for chewier texture.
