Join Mrs. Robledo as she bakes Peanut Butter Cookies. See below for the recipe so you can make them at home!
Peanut Butter Cookies
Makes 16 cookies
1 cup of smooth peanut butter
½ cup brown sugar, packed
½ cup granulated (white) sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Preheat the oven to 350F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Combine peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl until smooth. Add the egg, baking soda, vanilla extract, and kosher salt and mix until smooth.
Spoon out about 1½ tablespoons of dough per cookie spacing them evenly on each baking sheet. You should get 8 cookies per pan for a total of 16 cookies.
Use a fork to make a crisscross design on each cookie. Press the tines of the fork into the dough to gently mash it and then swipe the fork cleanly through. Rotate the fork 90, press it in again, and swipe it cleanly through. Repeat this for each cookie.
Place cookies in the oven, one in the upper third of the oven and one in the lower third. Bake for 10 minutes. To ensure evenness, switch the pan positions halfway through baking. Remove from oven and allow to cool on the pan for about 1-2 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the parchment paper on cooling racks for about 10 minutes.
