Step-by-Step Instructions for Classic Peanut Butter Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Blend on medium speed for about 2 minutes.
- Add the egg and blend until fully incorporated, which should take another minute.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the peanut butter mixture, folding gently.
- Scoop the dough and roll into balls, placing them 2 inches apart on the baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown and centers are slightly underbaked.
- Cool on baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

Notes
For rich flavor, use natural or creamy peanut butter. Avoid overmixing to keep cookies soft and chewy.
