Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped roasted peanuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream the Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Mix the Dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in chopped peanuts if desired.
- Form and Bake: Scoop dough into large balls and place on baking sheets. Flatten slightly and bake for 12–14 minutes until edges are set and tops are slightly underbaked.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Chilling the dough before baking results in an ultra-thick cookie.
- Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top after baking for a gourmet touch.
