Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 24 servings

  • 1 ¼ cups sifted all-purpose flour

  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup butter

  • ½ cup peanut butter

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • ½ cup packed brown sugar

  • 1 large egg

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ½ cup white sugar for rolling

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.

  3. Cream together butter, peanut butter, 1/2 cup white sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in egg, then stir in vanilla. Gradually blend in flour mixture until combined.

  4. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in 1/2 cup white sugar, then place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Use fork times to make a crisscross pattern on each dough ball.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until edges are set, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool slightly, then remove cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
