Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups (500 g) peanut butter
  • 1 cup (198 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (213 g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 eggs, room temp

  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Decorative sugar for sprinkling

Note: Gram measurements do not adjust automatically with the serving multiplier.

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, peanut butter, sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  3. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add to butter mixture and mix until just combined.
  4. Scoop dough into 1 inch balls with cookie scoop. Roll with hands to make balls and place on parchment lined baking sheets. Using a fork, flatten balls with a crisscross pattern. Sprinkle with decorative sugar if desired.
  5. Bake for about 10 minutes or until slightly brown. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to a wire rack. (They will be soft and continue to bake for a few minutes as they cool out of the oven on the cookie sheet.)
STORAGE
  1. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer up to 3 months.
