Ah, peanut butter cookies—soft, chewy, and full of nutty flavor! 🥜 Here’s a classic, simple recipe you can make at home:
Classic Peanut Butter Cookies
Ingredients (makes about 24 cookies)
- 1 cup (250 g) peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- 1 cup (200 g) sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: pinch of salt if your peanut butter is unsalted
Instructions
- Preheat oven
- 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the dough
- In a bowl, combine peanut butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
- Shape cookies
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on the baking sheet.
- Flatten each ball slightly with a fork, making a crisscross pattern.
- Bake
- 10–12 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
- Don’t overbake—they firm up as they cool.
- Cool and enjoy
- Let cookies cool 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack.
💡 Tip: For extra chewiness, you can mix in 1/4 cup chocolate chips or chopped peanuts.
If you want, I can also give a microwave “one-bowl” peanut butter cookie recipe that’s ready in about 5 minutes.
Do you want me to do that?
