Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup of sugar + 1/4 cup extra for cookie sprinkle
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 egg room temperature
  • 1 cup smooth natural peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 cups sifted flour

Method
 

  1. Preparation: Set your oven to preheat at 375°F. Lay a parchment sheet over your cookie tray.
  2. Dry Mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, sift the flour and combine with baking soda and a pinch of salt. (Wondering about the salt? Read here.)
  3. Wet Mixture: Take a larger bowl and, using a hand mixer, blend the butter and sugar until you achieve a creamy consistency. Incorporate the egg, followed by peanut butter and vanilla.
  4. Combine: Slowly introduce the dry mixture to the wet blend until it forms a moderately firm cookie dough.
  5. Shape & Design: Use a small scoop to place dough mounds onto the parchment, ensuring they're spaced out. Create the classic cross-hatch design on each with a fork, then sprinkle a dash of sugar on top.
  6. Bake & Savor: Place in the oven for 12-15 minutes, until a golden hue emerges. Ah, the irresistible aroma of freshly baked cookies!

Notes

While the first batch bakes, prep the next set on another parchment sheet. If you have a second tray, even better. This speeds up the process!
