Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 8 tbsp butter room temperature
  • 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/3 cup ground peanuts
  • 1 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat butter, peanut butter, sugar and vanilla until smooth and fluffy (about 3 minutes). Add egg, mixing until incorporated.
  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and ground peanuts. With mixing speed on low, gradually add dry ingredients. Mix just until combined. Chill dough for 15 minutes before baking.
  • Scoop 2" balls onto prepared baking sheets (I put 6 on a sheet). Using a fork, press a criss cross pattern into each cookie, flattening them out a bit. Sprinkle with sea salt. Place into oven and bake for 12-14 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and let cool on sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
