Old-Fashioned Peanut Butter Cookies

Old-Fashioned Peanut Butter Cookies are soft, chewy, fork-pressed cookies with golden edges and a rich, nutty flavor. Made in one bowl with pantry staples, they need no dough chilling and freeze well, so you can bake a fresh batch whenever you want.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350º Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a small bowl.
  • Beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each. Stir in the peanut butter until smooth.
  • Mix in the flour mixture gradually until a soft dough forms.
  • Roll the dough into balls and place them on the baking sheet. Press each one with a fork to make a crisscross.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Cool the cookies on the sheet for a few minutes, then move them to a wire rack.

Notes

FOOD SAFETY 

The dough contains raw egg and raw flour. Bake the cookies fully before eating, and avoid tasting the raw dough.
