Peanut Butter Cookies

👨‍🍳 Method

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 175°C (345°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

   ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven

   💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
2. 2
   Mix the sugar, brown sugar and baking soda.
3. 3
   Add the eggs, peanut butter and vanilla and mix into a soft dough.
4. 4
   Roll tablespoons of dough into balls the size of a walnut and place on the baking sheet, spaced apart.

   💡Roll with damp hands: the soft dough won't stick, and the balls come out smooth.
5. 5
   Press each ball twice with a fork, lengthwise and crosswise, to make a crisscross pattern.

   Bake 12 minutes, until the cookies are golden at the edges.

   💡Cookies that look too soft coming out of the oven firm up as they cool. Take them out when just the edges are golden.

   💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
