Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F
Beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy
Add the egg and continue to beat for a minute more
Add the peanut butter and vanilla extract and beat to combine
Sift the flour, baking powder and salt and add to the batter, and mix briefly until the batter comes together
Roll the dough into small balls about 1 inch (3 cm), place on a lined baking sheet and press down with a fork (in one direction as I did, or in two directions to get a criss-cross effect)
Bake for about 10 to 15 minutes until a light golden brown, then remove and allow to cool on a cooling rack
