Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and baking powder.
- Using electric beaters or a stand mixer, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl. Add the egg and mix to combine. Add the peanut butter and vanilla and beat until the batter is soft and smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients all at once. Mix only until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Scoop the cookie dough using a medium-sized cookie scoop (1 ½ tablespoons) and roll into balls. If you'd like, roll the balls in some sugar then place them on baking sheets.
- Use a fork to make a crosshatch pattern on top of the cookies, pressing the fork down gently on the cookies.
- Bake the cookies for 12 minutes. If you'd like, sprinkle the tops with a little salt when they come out of the oven. Let them cool for 5 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack.
Notes
- If you have unsalted butter, add ¼ teaspoon of salt with the flour.
- If you have unsalted peanut butter, add ¼ teaspoon of salt with the flour. (You'll want to add ½ teaspoon of salt to the flour if you have both unsalted butter and unsalted peanut butter.
