In the bowl of an electric mixer, add room temperature butter, white sugar, packed brown sugar, and creamy peanut butter.

Cream the butter and peanut butter together with the sugars using the paddle attachment.

Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add one whole egg, mixing until combined.

Add baking soda, baking powder, and salt, then mix until combined.

Gradually add the flour, mixing slowly and scraping down the sides as needed.

Cover the dough tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 to 3 hours.

After chilling, scoop the dough using a sorbet scoop and roll into smooth balls.

Place the cookie balls on a silicone baking mat-lined half sheet pan.

Flatten each ball with a fork to create a crisscross pattern.

Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 10 minutes.

Let the cookies sit on the hot pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
