Perfect Peanut Butter Cookies for 2

Perfect Peanut Butter Cookies for 2

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons of butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar, plus more for rolling
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar, light or dark is fine
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/8 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 scant 1/2 teaspoon baking soda*

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375F. Prepare a small cookie sheet with a sil-pat or parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl use the back of a spoon or a wire whisk to cream together the butter and peanut butter. Stir until smooth and combined.
  3. Add the sugars, and stir until smooth. Follow with the egg yolk and the vanilla, stirring or whisking until dough is lump-free and combined.
  4. Sprinkle the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda over the peanut butter mixture stir it in gently until just combined with no streaks.
  5. Pop the dough in the freezer for 5-10 minutes, or just enough time for it to be easier to handle.
  6. Scoop the dough into 3-4 equal portions and roll in sugar. Place on the cookie sheet 2 inches apart. And bake for 9-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden.

Notes

*basically this means measure a 1/2 teaspoon and then shake a little out.
