Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter for shaping

Instructions

  1. Cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and peanut butter.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  5. Chill the dough for at least 1 hour.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Flatten each ball slightly.
  8. Dip a fork into the 1/4 cup peanut butter and use it to press a line down the center of each cookie, then press the sides to create the peanut shape.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a stronger peanut flavor, use crunchy peanut butter in the dough.
  • You can adjust the baking time slightly to achieve your desired level of crispness.
