Homemade Peanut Butter cookies
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
1/2 cup peanut butter (I use Skippy)
1/2 a stick of butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
2 drop of vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
Mix peanut butter, butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar together until fully combined. Add 1 egg and 2 tbsp vanilla extract, continue mixing until fully smooth. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt then mix well until it forms into a dough.
Use your ice cream scooper or roll your cookie dough to form a shape of a ball with your hands (which is what I did.) and place your cookie dough on to a baking pan with parchment paper.
Put your cookies into the oven, set your timer and let them bake for 10-15 minutes.
Once your cookies are done, let them cool for at least 5 minutes. After your cookies are cooled, grab a bite and enjoy. ☺️

Peanut butter cookies are a classic favorite that combine nutty flavors with a soft, chewy texture. Using peanut butter like Skippy adds a creamy richness which pairs perfectly with the brown and granulated sugars to create a balanced sweetness. When baking peanut butter cookies, preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit ensures even cooking. The blend of baking powder and baking soda in the dough helps the cookies rise just enough to be fluffy without sacrificing their signature density. Using an ice cream scooper or rolling the dough by hand helps maintain uniform cookie sizes, allowing them to bake evenly. Placing the cookie dough balls on parchment paper prevents sticking and facilitates easy cleanup. It's essential to allow the cookies to cool for at least five minutes after baking; this resting period lets them set properly and makes handling easier without falling apart. For those interested in variations, adding chocolate chips or a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking can elevate the cookie flavor. Additionally, experimenting with natural peanut butter or crunchy versions can offer new textures. Overall, this homemade peanut butter cookie recipe offers an approachable and rewarding baking experience perfect for beginners and seasoned bakers alike. Whether for a cozy afternoon snack or sharing with friends, these cookies deliver on taste and simplicity—a true bake-with-love treat.
