How To Make peanut butter cookies

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder, set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, beat peanut butter, sugar and butter until smooth. Beat in egg. Gradually add flour mixture, beating to combine.
Step 3

Pinch off dough by tablespoons; roll into balls. Place 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Using a fork, press balls in a crisscross pattern, flattening to about 1/2 in thickness.
Step 4

Bake cookies, rotating halfway through, until lightly golden, 18 to 22 minutes. Cool cookies on a wire rack.
