Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup butter softened
- 1 cup Peanut Butter
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 Eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or leave them ungreased.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat 1 cup softened butter, 1 1/4 cups sugar, and 1 cup brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
- Add 1 cup peanut butter, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the peanut butter mixture, mixing on low speed just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
- Scoop the dough into 36 portions and roll each portion into a ball.
- Roll each dough ball in the remaining sugar, then place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Using a fork, gently flatten each dough ball and make a crisscross pattern on top.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve and enjoy.
