Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix thoroughly using an electric mixer or wooden spoon until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Crack the egg into the mixture and add vanilla extract. Beat until the ingredients are completely incorporated and the mixture becomes slightly lighter in color.
- Gently fold the raisins into the cookie dough, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Use a fork to create a classic crisscross pattern on top of each cookie, gently pressing down to flatten them slightly.
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. They will become slightly crisp as they cool.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing and better cookie texture.
- For extra soft raisins, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes before adding to the dough.
- Choose a natural, creamy peanut butter for the best flavor and consistency.
- Don't overbake - the cookies will continue to set as they cool.
- For uniform cookies, use a cookie scoop or weigh each portion.
- Want extra richness? Try adding a pinch of sea salt to enhance the peanut butter flavor.
- Let cookies cool completely to achieve the perfect crisp-yet-chewy texture.
