Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 1 Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This will take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed.
Step 3
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, beating until fully incorporated.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll it into balls about 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Flatten each cookie ball gently with the back of a fork, creating a crisscross pattern.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Do not overbake; the cookies will continue to set as they cool.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve the cookies with a cold glass of milk or your favorite beverage, and enjoy!
