In my afterlife, I would like to be a firefly whose home is a former peanut butter jar; I would actually like to be free flying in the forests, but if I had to choose a jar, it would be peanut butter.

These cookies, are by far, the softest, moist, creamiest cookies I have ever made. These cookies will go on and feature different appearances in the future. I won’t ever stray from this recipe, because it’s THAT GOOD. You gotta trust me on this. So I’ll skip the fluff and dive right in.

ingredients:

– 1 egg
– 3/4 cup of creamy peanut butter (I typically buy the medium size jar, and use all of it.)
– 1/2 cup of unsalted butter
– 1/2 cup of brown sugar
– 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
– 1 TBSP vanilla extract
– 3/4 cup and 2 TBSP of regular flour
– 3/4 cup of cake flour
– 1/2 TSP baking soda

the way:

– mix the egg, butters, sugars, and vanilla. Beat until fully combined/creamy.
– add the flours and baking soda, and mix until combined.
– use a cookie scooper or your hands, and roll the dough into balls. Then as a signature PB cookie always calls for: flatten the dough a touch, and use a fork to create a tic-tac-toe shape.
– place the formed, pre-baked cookies into the fridge, and let it set for about an hour.
– preheat the oven to 350/180 degrees and bake for about 9 minutes, or until the edges have set.
– when you take them out, let them cool down for a bit. They’ll be pretty soft and will crumble if you touch them right away. Patience is a virtue – they will be sooo worth it after five minutes of cooling.
