Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 3/4 cup unsalted butter softened; 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter; 3/4 cup granulated sugar divided; 1/2 cup light brown sugar firmly packed; 1 tablespoon honey; 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract; 1 eggs; 2 cups all-purpose flour; 1 teaspoon baking soda; 1/4 teaspoon salt

Servings: persons

1
Preheat the oven to 350u00b0 F.
2
Line two baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper. Set aside.
3
Measure 1/4 cup (50g) of granulated sugar into a small bowl. Set aside.
4
Place the softened butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, the remaining 1/2 cup (100g) of granulated sugar, and honey into a large bowl. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, cream together the butter and sugar on medium speed for 1 minute, or until pale and fluffy.
5
Add the egg and vanilla extract and continue to beat on medium speed for 30 seconds to one minute, until light and fluffy.
6
Turn the mixer to low, and add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the bowl. Beat the mixture for about 1 minute, until all ingredients are combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
7
Form the cookie dough into 20 balls, and place on the lined baking sheets.
8
Using clean hands, roll each cookie in the bowl of granulated sugar, and return to the sheet. Press down gently on the tops of each cookie to slightly flatten.
9
Bake the cookies for 11-13 minutes, until they are just slightly golden brown on the edges, and cracked on top.
10
Remove the baking sheets from the oven. Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the sheets, then transfer them to cooling racks to cool completely.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
