Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour spoon into measuring cup
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 whole egg

Instructions

  • Place oven rack in middle of oven. Preheat oven to 375-degrees F.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, with an electric hand mixer, cream white sugar, brown sugar, peanut butter, butter, and egg until light and fluffy. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until combined. Gather dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for two hours. Note: I often skip this step with no problems.
  • Shape dough into 1 1/4 balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet.  Press dough with the back side of a fork twice – once in one direction and then again at a 90-degree angle to the first pressing.
  • Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven for 9-10 minutes or until cookies are set and light golden brown around the edges. Transfer cookies from pan and allow to cool on a wire rack.
