Peanut Butter Cookies
Food Recipe
Ingredients:
1 cup creamy peanut butter
3/4 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch of salt
Direction:
1) Heat your oven to 350° F. Beat the peanut butter and sugars with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
2) Then, reduce the speed to low and add in the eggs, baking soda, vanilla, and salt, beating constantly. To form cookies, roll tablespoonfuls of the dough into balls and place on a lightly greased baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart, as the dough will spread out during baking.
3) Using a lightly floured fork, press the dough to a a half-inch thickness, making a cute crisscross pattern on top of each cookie. Bake, remembering to rotate the baking sheet halfway through the baking process, until the edges are set and golden-brown, so for about 10 to 12 minutes.
4) Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before trying to remove them so they don’t crumble, then transfer the cookies wire racks to cool completely. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
