What goes in

✳
Make it your size

Tap as you measure. A little less to keep in your head.

Let’s make it

one step at a time
  1. 01

    Preheat Oven: Set oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 02

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla, mixing until smooth.

  3. 03

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.

  4. 04

    Form Dough: Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.

  5. 05

    Scoop & Shape: Use a cookie scoop (about 1.5 tablespoons per cookie) to portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Optionally, gently press each dough ball with a fork for the classic peanut butter cookie crisscross pattern.

  6. 06

    Bake: Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the edges are just set but the centers still look soft.

  7. 07

    Cool on Baking Sheet: Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

✳

That’s a good thing made.
Enjoy every bite.
