The Best Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe – I don’t call things “The Best” all that
often, but when I do…I mean it. I have had a love affair with Peanut Butter
Cookies for a very, very long time.
However, I didn't have a single chewy peanut butter cookie recipe.
I could never get the recipe to be better than the chewy peanut butter cookies
you get at those kiosks in the mall. And if I am going to tell you to bake
cookies, they better taste better than cookies you can buy.

You don’t need any special ingredients and they take less than 30
minutes. They also store really well in an airtight container…if you don’t get
around to eating them all in one day like I do.
The Best Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe
ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- sugar for sprinkling, optional
directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the peanut butter, butter and both
sugars, until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla.
Gradually add in the flour mixture on low speed. Stir until dough forms.
Using a large cookie scoop (about 1 heaping tablespoon of dough), drop
rounded balls of dough onto prepared cookie sheet. Leaving space for spreading.
For a sparkle look, I like to sprinkle the tops of the dough with extra granulated
sugar -- but it's totally optional.
Bake for 12 minutes, or until edges are slightly browned, and remove
from oven. Let cool for 5 minutes on cookie sheets before transferring cookies
to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days...but they won't last
that long.
