Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of creamy or crunchy peanut butter
  • 1 cup of butter
  • 1 cup of brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup of white sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • optional: 1 cup chopped salted peanuts (omit that tsp of salt if you use salted peanuts!)
  • the picture above was taken of a batch i made using the crunchy peanut butter and i did not add extra peanuts in this batch.

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Mix the butter with the peanut butter until well combined.
  3. Add the two sugars and stir.
  4. Add the eggs and stir again until well combined.
  5. Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
  6. Stir well.
  7. On a baking pan covered in Release Aluminum foil or a silicon mat, drop large scoops of cookie dough on to the foil. I used an ice cream scooper for cookies that were approximately 5 inches in diameter after baking. (A 1/4 cup scooper)
  8. Leave at least 2 to 3 inches of space between each cookie as they do expand in the oven.
  9. Before baking, use the back of the scooper or your fingers to press down on the cookie dough, leaving each cookie fairly flat, about a quarter of an inch high. (You can use a fork and make lines if you like.)
  10. Bake for 12-14 minutes until golden brown. If you want a softer cookie, bake for less time.
