Ingredients

Main Ingredients

0.5 cup unsalted butter softened
0.75 cup creamy peanut butter
0.5 cup granulated sugar
0.5 cup light 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

Instructions

Preparation Steps

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Scoop 1-inch balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Use a fork to press a crisscross pattern into the top of each cookie.
Bake for 9-10 minutes, or until the edges are just set but the centers are still soft. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
