Ingredients
  • ½ cup butter
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • 1 ⅓ cup flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  2. Cream the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Mix in the egg, then mix in the peanut butter.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  6. Scoop out tablespoon-sized balls of cookie dough. Place each ball on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spaced apart.
  7. Use a fork dipped in sugar to flatten the balls of dough, creating a crisscross pattern.
  8. Chill the baking sheet, with the dough, in the fridge for 5 minutes.
  9. Bake the cookies for 10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow them to set on top of the stove.
