How to make it

  1. In a large bowl, cream together butter and peanut butter. Add in sugar and beat for 2 minutes.

  2. Beat in egg and vanilla

  3. Sift in flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix until 80% combined.

  4. Add in mix ins of choice, and continue to mix until just combined.

  5. Scoop dough out into balls and let chill in the fridge for 2 hours, or overnight.

  6. Preheat oven to 350F and line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Place cookie dough balls on sheets. Using a fork, press down into the cookies to create a grid pattern.

  7. Bake for 8 minutes (small) or 12 minutes (large).

  8. When cookies come out of oven, place a bowl over top of each cookie and move rapidly clockwise in a circle. This will help the hot cookie re-form into a perfect round treat you’d expect at a bakery.

  9. Allow to cool on cookie sheet for 10 minutes before moving to a cooling wrack (or stuffing in your face)!
