Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 1/3 cup (188g) all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup (105g) granulated sugar
1/2 cup (110g) light brown sugar
3/4 cup (185g) creamy peanut butter
1 large egg
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:
Step 01
Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C. Prepare two 18-by-13-inch baking sheets by lining them with silicone baking liners or parchment paper.

Step 02
Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.

Step 03
In a bowl, with an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until combined.

Step 04
Add peanut butter, then blend in egg and vanilla. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the flour mixture. Mix until combined.

Step 05
Scoop dough out and shape into balls (about 30 grams each or 2 tablespoons) and place them 2 inches apart on baking sheets.

Step 06
Flatten in a crisscross pattern with a fork. Dip your fork into flour to help keep the fork from sticking when you make a cross-hatch pattern on the cookies.

Step 07
Bake cookies for about 9 minutes. It's normal for cookies to appear pale and slightly under-baked – they'll continue to cook slightly as they cool.

Step 08
Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
1.Use only real butter.
2.It's best to use a room-temperature egg in your cookie dough. To bring your egg back to room temperature, put it in a bowl of warm water for five to ten minutes.
3.For chewier cookies, lower the oven temperature – bake them a little longer at a lower temperature.
4.To make it extra sweet, you can roll the cookie dough into extra granulated sugar before baking.
5.Chunky peanut butter will work great if you like texture and a nice crunch in your cookies.
6.Add chopped peanuts for a crunchy peanut butter cookie.
7.For best results, enjoy them within two days of baking.
8.You can prepare the cookie dough in advance and refrigerate it for up to three days. You'll need to let it rest for 30-40 minutes at room temperature before scooping and shaping – in the fridge, peanut butter's fats solidify, which makes it difficult to work with until it returns to room temperature. If you need to prepare the dough further in advance, we recommend freezing it.
