Ingredients For This RecipeTo make this peanut butter cookie recipe, you’ll need 9 simple ingredients. Let’s break down each one and what it does in this recipe:
How To Make Peanut Butter CookiesOnce you have all of your ingredients, it’s time to prepare these peanut butter cookies. To start, you’ll want to preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a couple of large baking sheets with parchment paper. The parchment paper is completely optional here, but it will make for easier cleanup and I find that cookies just bake up better with it too. Next, you’ll whisk together your flour, baking soda, salt, and set it aside. You’ll mix the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together for a minute or two until they’re well combined. Then, mix in the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract. I suggest stopping to scrape down the sides of your bowl at this point and giving it another mix to ensure that the wet ingredients are well combined. After you mix up the wet ingredients, you’ll add the dry ingredients and mix them in until just combined. Then, scoop the cookie dough, roll each ball in some granulated sugar, place them on the prepared baking sheets, and press each one down with the tines of a fork in a criss-cross pattern. The fork marks will help flatten the cookies some so that they spread as they bake in the oven. Once the cookie dough is ready, simply bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes or until the tops of the cookies are set. Let them cool for 5 to 10 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. FAQ’sCan I use crunchy peanut butter in these cookies?Yes, you can substitute the creamy peanut butter with the same amount of crunchy peanut butter. How do I adjust the recipe if I only have salted butter on hand?A good rule of thumb when replacing salted butter with unsalted butter in a recipe is to reduce the salt by 1/4 teaspoon per stick of butter. Since this recipe only uses 1/4 teaspoon of salt, I recommend still adding a tiny pinch of salt. Can these cookies be frozen?Yes, you can freeze these cookies! Once the cookies have cooled completely, you can store them in an airtight container or freezer bag in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy them, simply place the cookies on the counter for a few hours so that they can come to room temperature. If you want to freeze the cookie dough: Scoop the cookie dough with a cookie scoop, press each ball of dough down with a fork in a criss-cross pattern, and freeze the cookie dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for 1 to 2 hours. Once the cookie dough is frozen, freeze in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months. You can bake the cookie dough from frozen for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Can I prepare the cookie dough ahead of time?Yes! You may prepare the cookie dough ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 3 days. If you need to prepare it further in advance, then I recommend freezing it. Baking Tips

Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Freezing Instructions: Cookie dough will freeze well for up to 3 months, bake from frozen for an additional 1-2 minutes. Baked cookies will also freeze well for up to 3 months, thaw to room temperature before serving. Butter: If using salted butter, reduce the salt in this recipe to a tiny pinch. Peanut Butter: I recommend using a no-stir creamy peanut butter like Jif or Skippy. You may also use crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy peanut butter in this recipe. Egg: A room temperature egg is best for this recipe so it mixes more evenly into the dough. To bring your egg to room temperature quickly, place it in a bowl of warm water for 5 to 10 minutes. To make chocolate chip peanut butter cookies: Add 1 cup (190 grams) of semi-sweet chocolate chips to the cookie dough.

When you add it to cookie dough the cookies will bake with this density. Adding the criss-cross pattern or "hash marks" to your cookies allows them to bake evenly. This will give you a crispy exterior around the edges and a chewy interior where the hash marks are formed.
How do you keep sugar cookies from spreading?Use a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Coating your baking sheet with nonstick spray or butter creates an overly greasy foundation, causing the cookies to spread. I always recommend a silicone baking mat because they grip onto the bottom of your cookie dough, preventing the cookies from spreading too much.
How do you make peanut butter cookies taste better?How to Make Betty Crocker Peanut Butter Cookie Mix Better. Swap Vegetable Oil for Butter.. Swap Water for Milk.. Use Brown Sugar.. Add Vanilla Extract.. Don't Forget Mix-Ins.. Add a Topping.. Chill the Dough.. Do you have to put eggs in peanut butter cookies?Many old-fashioned peanut butter cookie recipes use eggs, peanut butter, and sugar—but no flour. (Try my Keto Peanut Butter Cookies for a flourless option!) To make no egg peanut butter cookies instead, flour is required, along with other classic ingredients like butter, leavening agents, and a dash of milk.
Why don't my peanut butter cookies taste like peanut butter?The most common mistake with peanut butter cookies is using the wrong type of peanut butter. The BEST peanut butter for today's cookies is a processed creamy peanut butter, preferably Jif or Skippy.
