COOK: Perfect Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies

These cookies are the perfect mixture of soft and chewy, only take a few minutes to mix up, and don't need to be chilled before you bake them.  Although it is important you don't forget to add the peanut butter, and if you almost forget just one time your daughter will make sure you never forget... 

Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients:

1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter (Softened)
1 Cup Peanut Butter 
1/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
3/4 Cup Brown Sugar (Packed)
1 Egg (Room Temperature)
2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
1 1/2 Cups Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg (Optional, but yummy)

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and prepare baking sheets with either parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

In a large bowl, or the bowl of your stand mixer, cream together butter and peanut butter until fluffy and light.  Add in sugars and continue to mix on medium-high speed, add egg and vanilla until everything is completely combined.

In a separate bowl whisk together dry ingredients, slowly add to wet mixture while mixing on low just until everything is fully incorporated.

Using a 1.5 Tablespoon cookie scoop, or similar sized spoon, drop cookie dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving space in-between for the cookies to spread.  Use a fork to gently push down in a crosshatch pattern.

Bake about 9-11 minutes, then let cool for 5 minutes before moving to a cooling rack.  

Store in zippy bags or airtight container for up to a week.
