makes 36 cookies
YOU'LL NEED:
4 tbsp (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, at room temp.
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup light brown sugar
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 large egg
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
¼ tsp salt
1 tbsp baking powder
HOW TO MAKE IT:
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
Beat together butter, sugars, and peanut butter in the bowl of a standing mixer for 2 minutes at medium speed. Scrape the sides of the bowl and beat in the egg.
Mix in the dry ingredients until the dough starts to come together.
Shape the dough into 1-inch balls, roll them in sugar and place them 2 inches apart on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Mark the tops with a fork, crisscrossing and pressing down slightly.
Bake for 9-10 minutes until edges start to brown. Cool 5 minutes on sheet before transferring to a cooling rack.
