Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Beat together butter, white sugar, brown sugar, peanut butter, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a stand mixer until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beater with a spatula. Add egg and mix for about 1 minute. Slowly mix in flour with the mixer on low speed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beater. Continue mixing until dough comes together, about 30 seconds.
  2. 2 Form dough into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.
  3. 3 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.
  4. 4 Portion cookie dough into equal-sized balls and place on the prepared baking sheet. Use damp hands to roll dough into smooth balls. Stamp each ball with a fork in a criss-cross pattern.
  5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 10 minutes. Let cookies sit on the baking sheet briefly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
