Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup margarine, softened
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 175 degrees Celsius).
2
Next, take a moment to prepare your baking surfaces by lightly coating two baking sheets with a non-stick cooking spray.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the margarine and peanut butter using an electric mixer on high speed until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. Gradually add the sugars, egg, and vanilla extract into the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy.
4
Add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the mixture and blend until all ingredients are well incorporated.
5
Place the dough in the refrigerator for a period of 15 minutes to allow it to firm up and become more manageable.
6
Using your hands, shape the chilled dough into small balls of approximately walnut size. Arrange these balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
7
Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake until the edges are lightly browned, taking care not to overcook them. The baking time should be between 7 to 10 minutes.
8
Once the cookies are done, transfer them to a wire rack for cooling. Finally, store the cooled cookies in an airtight container to maintain their softness and freshness.
