Peanut butter cookies are a timeless treat that has captured the hearts of cookie lovers everywhere. These delightful cookies blend the rich, nutty flavor of peanut butter with a perfect balance of sweetness and crunch.
We’ll walk you through each step of baking these classic Peanut Butter Cookies, ensuring that your cookies turn out deliciously perfect every time. From mixing the dough to achieving that ideal texture, we’ll provide all the tips and tricks you need to create cookies that are both comforting and irresistible.
1. Preheat the Oven
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cookies will bake evenly and turn out perfectly crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
2. Prepare the Cookie Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and palm shortening. Then, add granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-blended. Add the egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated. Beat in flour gradually until combined.
3. Shape the Cookies
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. To achieve that classic peanut butter cookie look, use a fork to gently press down on each cookie, creating a crisscross pattern on the top.
4. Bake the Cookies
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t over-bake, as peanut butter cookies can go from perfectly baked to too crispy quickly.
5. Cool and Enjoy
Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This allows them to set and become the perfect texture for enjoying.
Peanut butter cookies are perfect on their own, but you can elevate them in a few simple ways. Try serving them with a glass of milk, a cup of tea, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic dessert combo. They also make a wonderful addition to cookie trays for holiday gatherings or bake sales.
Store your peanut butter cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, you can freeze the cookies for up to three months. Simply place them in a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag, and thaw them at room temperature before enjoying them.
