Santa Biggs’ Classic
Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter, softened

  • ½ cup granulated sugar

  • ½ cup brown sugar, firmly packed

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ¾ cup creamy peanut butter

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.

  2. Cream the butter and sugars together in a large mixing bowl until light and smooth.

  3. Add the egg and vanilla and mix until well combined.

  4. Add the peanut butter and beat until smooth and creamy.

  5. Combine the dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

  6. Make the dough by gradually adding the dry ingredients to the peanut butter mixture. Mix just until everything comes together.

  7. Make them Santa-sized. Roll the dough into approximately 1½-inch balls and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

  8. Make the classic crisscross. Use the tines of a fork to gently flatten each ball in one direction, then press again in the opposite direction to create the traditional peanut butter cookie pattern.

  9. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Don't overbake if you want a softer center.

  10. Cool for about 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring the cookies to a wire rack.

Santa’s Serving Suggestion

Serve slightly warm with a cold glass of milk.

​

There may be fancier cookies on Santa's plate, but there's something about an old-fashioned peanut butter cookie with those little fork marks that says some Christmas traditions don't need improving.
