Servings: persons

1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup butter softened
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1
In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and peanut butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, and baking powder. Beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally.
2
Beat in the egg and vanilla until combined.
3
Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour.
4
Cover and chill dough about 1 hour or until easy to handle. I did mine over night, but thats not necessary.
5
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Flatten with palm of hand and use a cookie cutter to cut shape. Than roll into additional granulated sugar to coat.
6
Place dough 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until bottoms are light brown. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool.
7
Optional, drizzle with chocolate

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
