Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups creamy peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Add peanut butter, both sugars and eggs to a bowl and stir until combined.
  3. Add flour, salt and baking soda and stir to combine.
  4. Using a cookie scoop for each cookie, roll dough in your hands for each to form a smooth ball. Make an impression in each cookie using your thumb.
  5. Bake for 15-17 minutes. Leave them on the cookie sheet for about five minutes after removing from the oven then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
