Indulge in the heavenly taste of peanut butter with our ultimate guide to baking perfect peanut butter cookies. From bakery-style delights to traditional homemade treats, we’ve gathered the best recipes and tips to satisfy your cookie cravings.

Ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1⅓ cup peanut butter
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or vanilla bean paste)
3 cups all-purpose flour
1½ teaspoon baking soda
1½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1-2 tablespoons milk (optional)
Optional: 1 cup chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or a hand mixer, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and peanut butter on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla and mix until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. If the dough is too thick, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of milk to reach the desired consistency.
Stir in the chocolate chips or chunks if using.
Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
