Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven 350 - Going to bake these cookies on plain un-greased cookie sheets.
- 2. Cream together butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.
- 3. Then add vanilla and the egg.
- 4. While using my Kitchen-Aid mixer, I add each remaining dry ingredient while mixing on low while adding each item down the list. Scrape the bowl and blend another minute or so.
- 5. I used a rounded 1/2 tablespoon measuring spoon while creating complete half rounds of dough.
- 6. Gently press fork indenting criss-cross while keeping dough 1/4 inch thick.
- 7. I prepare 2 pans before beginning the actual baking cycle. This keeps pace with baking each pan 5-8 minutes.

Tips:
- Use high-quality butter: The type of butter you use will greatly affect the flavor of your cookies, so it's worth splurging on a good brand.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the dough, resulting in a lighter, more tender cookie.
- Chill the dough before baking: This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies at a high temperature for a short amount of time: This will help to create a crisp exterior and a chewy interior.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely before serving: This will help them to firm up and develop their full flavor.
