Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your 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.
  • 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 mix this into the wet ingredients until a dough forms.
  • Roll tablespoons of dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Use a fork to flatten each ball slightly, creating a crisscross pattern on top.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Enjoy your classic Peanut Butter Cookies!
