Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/3 cups unbleached flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract; mix until fully combined.
- Gradually stir in the flour, baking soda, and baking powder until well incorporated.
- Scoop about two tablespoons of dough per cookie and shape into balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them two inches apart.
