Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
Instructions:
Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Mix the dough:
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and peanut butter until smooth and combined.
Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Beat the mixture until fluffy and well incorporated.
Shape the cookies:
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
Use a fork to flatten each ball slightly, making a criss-cross pattern on top of the cookie.
Bake:
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake, as they continue to firm up as they cool.
Cool and enjoy:
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your thick and chewy peanut butter cookies!
