Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1 Large egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (for rolling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Place the extra granulated sugar for rolling in a shallow bowl.

Step 7

Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in the sugar to coat and then place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Using a fork, gently press down on each dough ball twice—once horizontally and once vertically—to create a crisscross pattern.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly golden. Do not overbake; the cookies will continue to set as they cool.

Step 10

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve and enjoy, or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days!
