Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar (for coating)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and unsalted butter. Beat them together with a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the bowl, then mix until fully incorporated and fluffy.
Step 4
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract, beating until smooth.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the peanut butter mixture, mixing until just combined and a soft dough forms.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are set and lightly golden on the bottom. Do not overbake.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool slightly, about 5 minutes. While still warm, roll each cookie ball in powdered sugar to coat completely.
Step 10
Transfer the coated cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
