Ingredients
Scale
- 2 â…” cups (320g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 ½ cups (320g) brown sugar
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar, plus extra for rolling the cookies
- 1 ½ cups (405g) creamy peanut butter
- 2 large eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt together; set aside.
- In another bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
- Mix in the peanut butter, eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed until just incorporated.
- Measure out 5.7 oz portions of dough, roll into balls, then coat each ball in granulated sugar. Place on a baking sheet and flatten into 3.5-inch pucks. Use a fork for the crisscross design. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat after the dough has chilled.
- Place 2 cookies on the baking sheet, ensuring enough space for spreading. Bake for 12–14 minutes until edges are set.
- Once removed from the oven, gently slam the pan on the counter for a crackly texture. Allow cookies to cool completely before removing.
