Absolutely! Here’s a classic homemade peanut butter cookies recipe — soft, chewy, and perfectly nutty 🥜🍪.
Homemade Peanut Butter Cookies
Ingredients (Makes ~24 cookies)
- 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- Optional: pinch of salt if your peanut butter is unsalted
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Ingredients
- In a bowl, combine peanut butter, sugar, egg, vanilla, and baking soda.
- Mix until smooth and creamy.
3. Form Cookies
- Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Flatten each ball slightly with a fork, making a crisscross pattern.
4. Bake
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden.
- Do not overbake — cookies continue to firm as they cool.
5. Cool and Serve
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy with a glass of milk or coffee!
Tips & Variations
- Chewy cookies: Add 1–2 tablespoons of honey.
- Chocolate twist: Press a few chocolate chips or a small chocolate square in the center before baking.
- Chunky style: Use chunky peanut butter for extra texture.
- Extra soft: Reduce sugar to ¾ cup and bake slightly less.
