1 cup (packed)
creamy peanut butter
3/4 cup (must be Jif)
egg
1 (large, at room temperature)
vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon (fresh)

1/4 teaspoon (sea salt preferred)

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use an ungreased cookie sheet.
2
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the unsalted butter, packed light brown sugar, and Jif creamy peanut butter until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
3
Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly until the batter is light and fluffy.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until blended.
5
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the peanut butter mixture, mixing until just combined and a dough forms.
6
Shape the dough into 1-1/4 inch balls using your hands. Roll each ball generously in granulated sugar to coat it.
7
Place the sugar-coated dough balls onto the prepared cookie sheet, making sure to space them at least 2 inches apart.
8
With the tines of a fork, gently flatten each dough ball, creating a crisscross pattern by flattening in one direction, then again in the perpendicular direction.
9
Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set. Do not overbake for the best chewy texture.
10
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
