Ingredients
Units
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 3/4 cup creamy natural peanut butter
- 1/4 cup white sugar + more for rolling
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg + 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon sea salt (plus more for sprinkling the tops)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer fit with the paddle attachment, beat the softened butter, peanut butter, white sugar and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Scrape down the bowl and add the egg, egg yolk and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Pour some extra granulated sugar into a small bowl. Using a cookie scoop, scoop the dough out into 1 inch balls, rolling them in the granulated sugar first before dropping them 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet. Bake at 350°F for 12 minutes or until the cookies have puffed up and are set on the edges, but are still gooey in the middle. Allow to cool completley before eating!
