Peanut butter. It’s a debated food, as I’ve heard from most people that they either love it or hate it. And some are sadly allergic to it. If you couldn’t tell, I love it. It has such a strong, distinct flavor that is like no other. I feel so bad for those who have peanut allergies, as they can’t regularly eat something I think is a wonderful invention. I also feel bad because peanut allergies can be deadly, which is probably the point I should’ve mentioned first, but oh well. Anyways, if you’re a fellow peanut butter lover, these easy cookies are perfect for you.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups flour
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter
- 1 cup peanut butter (preferably smooth)
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup white sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- ¾ teaspoons baking powder
- Preheat your oven to 350℉. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt until combined. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, beat the sugar (white and brown), peanut butter, and butter until light and fluffy.
- Add vanilla and egg, and mix until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, and fold until combined.
- Separate mixture into ¼ cup large scoops, and move onto a baking tray.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and use a fork to make indents on the top of the cookies in a square pattern.
- Allow to cool, and enjoy!
