These peanut butter cookies are soft and chewy in the middle, with slightly crisp edges. They have a rich peanut butter flavor that will satisfy your cravings.
Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and peanut butter with a wooden spoon or an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat well until combined.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until a soft dough forms.
Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets or baking tray, leaving about 2 inches of space between them. Flatten each cookie slightly with your fingers or a fork, making a crisscross pattern or any desired pattern on top.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the tops are set. Do not overbake or the cookies will be dry.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your delicious peanut butter cookies or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
