Ingredients
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and peanut butter until smooth and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the peanut butter mixture until a soft dough forms.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
Flatten each ball with a fork in a crisscross pattern.
Bake for 10–12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use creamy or crunchy peanut butter based on texture preference.
Do not overbake; cookies continue to set while cooling.
Freeze dough balls for quick baking later.
