  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions

  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl and stir into the wet ingredients just till combined.

  • Bake at 375° for about 10 minutes.
  • Let sit on pans for 3-5 minutes, then remove to wire racks to cool.

Notes

If using crunchy peanut butter, I like to overfill the measuring cup a bit. Since the peanuts replace some of the peanut butter, I find that it helps keep the cookies moist.
