Preparation

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugars. Add peanut butter, egg and vanilla; beat until smooth. Combine the flour, baking soda and baking powder; add to creamed mixture and mix well. For easier shaping, chill the dough for one hour. Shape into 1" balls; place 2" apart on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten each ball by crisscrossing with the tines of a fork dipped in sugar.

Bake at 375 degrees for 10 - 12 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned and cookies are set.
