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 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
Warm up your oven to 350°F (175°C) and cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well.
In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt by whisking.
Slowly incorporate the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until thoroughly blended.
Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and arrange them on the baking sheet, leaving 2 inches of space between each.
Gently press each dough ball with a fork to make a crisscross design.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden.
Once baked, allow the cookies to rest on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool fully.
