• servings: 1 serving
• active time: 40 minutes
• total time: 1 hour 48 minutes

Ingredients

½ cup peanut butter

½ cup butter, softened

½ cup granulated sugar

½ cup packed brown sugar

½ teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

1 egg

½ teaspoon vanilla

1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour

Directions

In a large mixing bowl beat peanut butter and butter with electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds.

Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Beat until completely combined, scraping the sides of the bowl occasionally.

Beat in the egg and vanilla until combined.

Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour. Cover and refrigerate the dough for about 1 hour or until easy to handle.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Shape the dough into 1-inch balls. Place balls 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Flatten the cookies by making crisscross marks with fork tines, dipping the fork in granulated sugar between flattening each cookie.

Bake for about 8 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Transfer the cookies to wire racks. Cool completely. As written, this recipe makes about 3 dozen cookies.
