In a large bowl, cream together the peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and softened butter until smooth.
Step 3
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Step 6
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Use a fork to flatten each ball and create a crisscross pattern on the top of each cookie.
