Ingredients
Scale
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy.
Mix in peanut butter until combined, then add egg and vanilla; blend until smooth.
Gradually incorporate dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently.
Scoop dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, flattening each ball with a fork to create crisscross patterns.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden around the edges but soft in the center. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
