The Best Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup margarine
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon almond extract
• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease two cookie sheets to prevent sticking.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the margarine, peanut butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and almond extracts for added flavor. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually stir this dry mixture into the peanut butter mixture until just combined. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets. Use a fork dipped in sugar to create the classic crisscross pattern on top of each cookie.
3. Bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve with a cold glass of milk and enjoy the homemade goodness!
