Description

These Old-Fashioned Peanut Butter Cookies are classic, chewy, and full of nutty flavor. With their signature crisscross pattern and sweet, salty balance, they’re a nostalgic treat that’s perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup (125g) creamy peanut butter (or chunky, if preferred)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups (155g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Dough:
    In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
    In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  3. Shape the Cookies:
    Scoop out 1.5-tablespoon portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
    Use a fork to gently flatten each ball in a crisscross pattern.
  4. Bake:
    Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake.
  5. Cool:
    Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.



Notes

  • For a fun twist, mix in 1/2 cup (85g) of chocolate chips or chopped peanuts.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
