Easy Peanut Butter Cookies

Method

1. Beat butter, both sugars and peanut butter until creamy. Beat in egg and vanilla.
2. Whisk flour, baking soda and salt separately, then mix into the wet ingredients just until combined. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment.
4. Roll tablespoon-sized portions into balls and place 2 inches apart. Press with a fork twice to make a crisscross pattern.
5. Bake one tray at a time for 10–12 minutes until the edges are set and lightly golden. Cool on the tray for 5 minutes before moving to a rack.

Helpful Tips and Storage

Cookies firm up as they cool, so avoid baking until hard in the oven. Natural peanut butter that separates can change the spread of the dough. Store airtight for up to 5 days or freeze baked cookies.
