Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2/3 cup peanut butter
  • 1 large egg
  • ¾ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric hand mixer until smooth. Add the peanut butter and egg, mixing until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the baking powder, baking soda, salt, and all-purpose flour. Gradually mix this dry blend into the peanut butter mixture until fully incorporated.
  4. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets about 3 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly with a fork in a crisscross pattern.
  5. Bake for 8-9 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown. Allow cooling on the sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
