Ingredients:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Optional:
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts or chocolate chips for extra texture
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the peanut butter, unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.
- Scoop the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets. Use a fork to press the balls down, creating a crisscross pattern.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Enjoy with a cold glass of milk or as a sweet afternoon snack!
