- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the peanut butter, softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, beating until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Using a cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
