INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup butter (1 stick, 4 ounces, 112 g), unsalted or salted, room temperature

• 1/2 cup (100 g) white granulated sugar

• 1/2 cup (110 g) packed brown sugar

• 1/2 cup (130 g) peanut butter

• 1 large egg

• 1 1/4 cups (160 g) all purpose flour

• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

• 1/4 teaspoon salt (if using salted butter, omit the salt)

Method

1 Make the cookie dough: Beat the butter until creamy, 2 minutes. Add the brown sugar and white sugar, beat for 2 more minutes. Mix in the peanut butter and the egg.

In a separate bowl, vigorously whisk together the dry ingredients—the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Stir the dry ingredients into the sugar butter mixture.

2 Chill the dough: Wrap dough in plastic and refrigerate at least 3 hours.

3 Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

4 Shape the cookies: Shape the dough into 1 1/4 inch balls. Place the balls of dough about 3 inches apart on un-greased cookie sheet. Flatten in crisscross pattern with a fork. (It helps to dip the fork in sugar to keep it from sticking to the dough.)
