flour
🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

Preheat your oven to 350°F.
In a medium bowl, combine 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour and 3/4 teaspoon of baking powder. Whisk together until combined.
In a stand mixer bowl, add 1/2 cup of room temperature unsalted butter, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup of packed light brown sugar. Cream together until combined.
Taste the peanut butter to check for saltiness and add a pinch of salt if desired.
Add 1 cup of peanut butter to the mixture and mix until incorporated.
Crack 1 egg into a small bowl to check for shells, then add it to the mixer along with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix on low until just combined. Finish mixing by hand with a spatula to avoid overmixing.
Line rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough (approximately 40 g) for each cookie and roll them into balls.
Place the cookie balls onto the baking sheet and press them down with a fork to create a cross-hatch pattern.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes. Allow to cool before enjoying.
