Deliciously soft and chewy old fashioned peanut butter cookies made with simple ingredients.
Equipment
- Stand Mixer
- Baking Sheet
- cookie scoop
Ingredients
- 1.75 cups all purpose flour spooned and leveled
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar plus additional sugar to roll cookies in
- 0.75 cups packed light brown sugar
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter softened to room temperature

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the sugars and butter on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

- Using a small cookie scoop, scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough and roll into balls. Roll in sugar and place on baking sheet, flattening with a fork in a crisscross pattern.
