Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour (scoop and level to measure)
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 stick butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In the bowl of an electric stand mixer cream together butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until combined. Mix in peanut butter then blend in egg and vanilla.
With mixer on low speed add in flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Scoop dough out and roll into balls (nearly 2 Tbsp each) then place on baking sheets spacing them 1-2 inches apart.
Flatten with a fork: Using a fork, flatten cookies slightly then turn fork going opposite direction and flatten just slightly again to create a criss-cross pattern.
Bake cookies in preheated oven, one sheet at a time, for about 10 minutes (cookies will appear pale and slightly under-baked, they’ll continue to cook slightly as they cool).
Let cool on baking sheet 10 minutes (If you try to move them to soon they will crumble).

Personal Notes:
I first baked these cookies with Christina the week before her 4th birthday. It didn’t take her long to master the crisscrosses on the tops of the cookies!
