  • Total Time: 0 hours
  • Yield: 9 cookies 1x

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

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt together; set aside.
  2. In another bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
  3. Mix in the peanut butter, eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed until just incorporated.
  5. 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.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat after the dough has chilled.
  7. Place 2 cookies on the baking sheet, ensuring enough space for spreading. Bake for 12–14 minutes until edges are set.
  8. Once removed from the oven, gently slam the pan on the counter for a crackly texture. Allow cookies to cool completely before removing.
