Crosshatch Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar for rolling

Before you cook

• Soften the butter at room temperature.
• Line two baking sheets with parchment.
• Put the quarter cup of sugar for rolling in a shallow bowl.

Steps

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together.
3. Beat the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and creamy, about 3 minutes.
4. Beat in the egg and the vanilla until fully combined.
5. Add the flour mixture and mix on low just until the dough holds together.
6. Roll the dough into 30 balls the size of a large marble.
7. Roll each ball in the granulated sugar.
8. Set the balls two inches apart on the lined sheets.
9. Press each ball flat with the tines of a fork, then press again at a right angle to make a crosshatch.
10. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are set and lightly browned and the centers look barely dry.
11. Cool the cookies on the sheet for 5 minutes, then move them to a rack.
