The Ultimate Jumbo Peanut Butter Cookies
Welcome to our kitchen, where we’re about to embark on a journey to create the most irresistible treat you’ll ever lay your taste buds on – The Ultimate Jumbo Peanut Butter Cookies! Get ready to indulge in the perfect blend of buttery goodness and rich, creamy peanut butter, all wrapped up in a satisfyingly jumbo-sized cookie.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup peanut butter (crunchy or smooth, according to preference)
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
How to Make The Ultimate Jumbo Peanut Butter Cookies
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven – Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Set baking sheet aside.
Step 2: Creaming the Buttery Base – To kick things off, we’ll start by creaming together softened butter, granulated sugar, and packed brown sugar in a trusty stand mixer. This step sets the foundation for our cookie, ensuring a rich and decadent texture.
Step 3: Adding the Essential Flavors – Once our buttery base is perfectly creamy, it’s time to introduce the stars of the show. Crack in one egg, add vanilla extract, and, of course, peanut butter – we prefer the delightful crunch of chunky peanut butter for that extra texture and flavor. Mix until ingredients are well-combined.
Step 4: Mixing in the Flour – In a separate bowl, whisk together our dry ingredients – flour and baking soda. Once combined, gently add this flour mixture to our peanut buttery goodness in the mixer. Mix until just incorporated, ensuring not to overwork the dough.
Step 5: Shaping the Goodness – Now comes the fun part – shaping our jumbo cookies! Using a large cookie scoop, dollop generous portions of dough onto a lined cookie sheet. Remember to leave ample space between each cookie to allow for that perfect spread during baking.
Step 6: The Baking Finale – Once cookies are arranged on the baking sheet, pop those beauties in for 10 to 12 minutes. As they bake, your kitchen will be filled with the irresistible aroma of freshly baked cookies – a tantalizing preview of the goodness to come.
Step 7: Cool and Indulge – Once baked to golden perfection, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the sheet for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. And finally, grab a cookie and indulge in the delightful combination of buttery, peanutty bliss.
