Method
Prepare the Oven and Baking Sheet
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Cream Butter and Sugars
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the peanut butter, softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
Add Egg and Vanilla
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Combine Mixtures
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Shape Cookies
- Using a tablespoon, scoop out dough and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten Cookies
- Use a fork to gently flatten each cookie and create a crisscross pattern on top.
Bake
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Cool and Serve
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
