Granny's Classic Peanut Butter Cookies
Granny's Classic Peanut Butter Cookies come from the perfect peanut butter cookie recipe that has been in our family for generations! Crisp, chewy, so good!
Servings: 48 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 1/2 cups peanut butter no sugar added crunchy recommended
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 2 large eggs slightly beaten
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 2 tbsp sugar for rolling
Instructions
- Cream 1 cup unsalted butter, 1 1/2 cups peanut butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 cup brown sugar together in large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. I use my stand mixer with the paddle attachment and beat on medium high speed, scraping the sides of the bowl several times.
- Mix in 2 large eggs and 1 tbsp vanilla extract, scraping sides at least once to fully incorporate.
- In separate bowl, mix together 2 3/4 cups all purpose flour, 1 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp kosher salt. Slowly stir into peanut mixture, scraping down sides as needed to fully mix.
- Cover bowl and refrigerate at least one hour.
- To bake cookies, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Form 1-inch sized balls and roll in between hands to make smooth and dip tops in the remaining sugar (about 2 tbsp sugar). Set on parchment lined baking sheet with the sugar side up. Use a fork to gently flatten cookie, turning the fork 90 degrees to make a criss-cross pattern. Once flattened, cookies will continue to spread a bit during the cooking process, so allow a couple inches in between each cookie.
- Bake in preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes. When you remove them from the oven, they should still be pretty soft. Allow them to sit on the hot baking sheet until you can lift them off without them falling apart. Transfer cookies to a cooling rack. Allow to fully cool before storing in an airtight container.
