Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F and prepare your baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
- Then, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
- Next, with an electric handheld mixer, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until thoroughly combined. Mix in the peanut butter, then the egg and vanilla. Mix this on a low setting, then slowly add in the flour mixture until just combined. Once the dough has been thoroughly combined, it is time to place on the baking sheet.
- Scoop 2 tablespoons of dough and roll into balls, placing them on the baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Use a fork to flatten the cookies slightly in a criss cross pattern and bake cookies for about 8-9 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on flat plates or a wire rack completely before serving.
