Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1 Large egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 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, beat the unsalted butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using a handheld or stand mixer until the mixture is creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until fully incorporated.

Step 4

In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure tender cookies.

Step 6

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop out 1.5-inch balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each ball.

Step 7

Using a fork, gently press a crisscross pattern onto the tops of the cookie dough balls to slightly flatten them.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges appear set but the centers still look soft. Be careful not to overbake.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Enjoy your Really Good Peanut Butter Cookies with a cold glass of milk, a cup of coffee, or on their own!
