Now, the Fun Part: Instructions

1. First things first. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Ready a cookie sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
2. Grab a mixing bowl. Combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and egg. Mix until you get a creamy consistency.
3. Now, add in that vanilla extract, giving it a good mix to ensure even distribution.
4. In a different bowl, whisk together your baking powder, salt, and all-purpose flour.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into your peanut butter mix. Stir until just combined.
6. Time to shape! Take small chunks and form them into balls. Place them onto your cookie sheet. Flatten slightly with a fork, making a crisscross pattern.
7. Pop these bad boys in the oven. Bake for about 10 minutes or until they’ve turned a beautiful golden brown.
8. Once baked, let them sit for a couple of minutes. Then, transfer them to a cooling rack. Cool completely and voila! You’ve got your batch of Peanut Butter Cookies ready!

Pro Tips to Perfect Your Cookies

1. Consistency Matters: When mixing the wet and dry ingredients, make sure not to overmix. A gentle hand ensures soft, chewy cookies.
2. Size and Shape: For even baking, keep your cookies similarly sized. Those fork marks aren’t just for show; they help with even cooking.
3. Storage: Store your Peanut Butter Cookies in an airtight container to maintain their freshness.

Serving Suggestions

1. Tea Time: Best paired with a cup of herbal tea or milk.
2. Fruit Fusion: Add some sliced strawberries on the side for a fresh contrast.
3. Dip it: Got some almond milk? Dip the cookies for an extra layer of yum.
4. Ice Cream Sandwich: Use two Peanut Butter Cookies to sandwich a scoop of your favorite dairy-free ice cream. Perfect for summer!

Remember, it’s not just about the cookies; it’s the experience of making and sharing them. So, while Peanut Butter Cookies are a sweet treat to indulge in, the joy of baking and sharing them with loved ones doubles the fun. Ready to conquer the kitchen? Happy baking, folks!
