Ingredients
Cookie Ingredients
- ½ cup softened unsalted butter

- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar

- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda

Instructions
Baking Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350° F. In a standing mixer with paddle attachment, cream together the butter and peanut butter. Beat in the sugars until light, about 3 minutes.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla, scraping down the bowl to ensure even incorporation. Add the salt, baking soda, and flour, and beat just until combined.
- Give the dough one last fold with a spatula. Chill the dough and roll into balls (¾-inch diameter), or scoop heaping teaspoonfuls onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spaced 2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie with a fork dipped in flour to create a crosshatch pattern.
- Bake for about 10 minutes, until lightly golden and firm around the edges. Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer to a baking rack to cool completely. Best while fresh!
Notes
These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for several days.
