Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • cup oil
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¾ cup brown sugar light or dark
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat & Prep – Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients – In a mixing bowl, whisk together peanut butter, eggs, and oil until smooth.
  • Incorporate Sugars & Flavoring – Add brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well until everything is fully combined.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients – Stir in the flour and baking soda, switching to a spatula to gently mix everything together until a dough forms.
  • Shape & Press – Scoop 1 ½ to 2 tablespoons of dough, roll into balls, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Use a fork to create a crisscross pattern on top, slightly flattening the cookies.
  • Bake – Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are slightly golden but centers are still soft.
  • Cool & Optional Toppings – Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. For extra indulgence, dip half of each cookie in melted chocolate and sprinkle with sea salt or chopped nuts.
  • Store & Enjoy! – Keep cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for up to three months for a longer-lasting treat.
