30 minThis is the peanut butter cookie recipe that does everything right.
Butter and peanut butter cream together with both white and brown sugar for complex sweetness and tender texture.
Chilling the dough for an hour prevents spreading and concentrates the peanut butter flavor.
Press with a fork to create those iconic crosshatch marks that help cookies bake evenly.
Kitchen Tips
- Don’t skip the chill time; it’s essential for proper texture
- Use regular peanut butter, not natural (natural separates and makes greasy cookies)
- Press fork gently; you want marks without squashing cookies flat
- Bake just until edges set; centers will firm as they cool
