How To Make These Peanut Butter Cookies

The oven is preheated to 350 degrees F., and two cookie sheets are lined with parchment paper.

All-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt are added to a small mixing bowl, whisked to combine and set aside momentarily.

Unsalted butter and peanut butter are added to a stand mixer and beaten on medium speed for 2 minutes, or until well combined and smooth and creamy. The white and brown sugars are added to the stand mixer and beaten on medium until well incorporated and light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. An egg and a splash of vanilla bean paste are added to the sugar mixture and beaten on low until incorporated, about 30 seconds.

The bowl of the stand mixer is removed and the flour mixture is folded in with a spatula until no streaks of flour remain.

The cookie dough is chilled for an hour or overnight. Using an ice cream scoop, the cookie dough is drop on to two parchment lined cookie sheets. Each sheet should have six cookies evenly spaced.

The cookies are baked in a preheated 350 degrees F. oven for 15 minutes. The cookies should be lightly golden on the edges and set across the center. Cookies are cooled on a wire rack. Leftover cookies can be stored in an airtight container for several days. Cookies can be frozen for up to a month.
