Author Notes
These peanut butter cookies are a riff off on my grandmother's. They are equally as soft (and stay that way long after being out of the oven), but I add toasted sesame oil, which brings out the incredible flavor of the peanut butter. —Jerrelle Guy

Ingredients
-
1/4 cup
extra-creamy peanut butter (low-sodium)
-
4 tablespoons
softened butter
-
1/4 cup
granulated sugar
-
1/4 cup
tightly packed light brown sugar
-
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
-
2 tablespoons
toasted sesame oil
-
1 tablespoon
olive oil
-
1
egg
-
1 cup
white whole wheat flour
-
1 teaspoon
baking soda
-
1/2 teaspoon
salt
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350° F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
-
In a bowl, whisk the butters, sugars, vanilla, and oils together until smooth. Add the egg and whisk until combined. Set aside.
-
In a separate bowl, add the flour, baking soda and salt and combine completely. Whisk the flour mixture into the peanut butter mixture until a soft dough is formed. Pinch off 1 to 1 1/2 inch pieces of dough and roll them into balls between your palms.
-
Place the balls on the cookie sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each one, and bake for 14-16 minutes or until the cookies are set and golden brown on the bottom. Remove them from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm.
