- In a large bowl using an electric mixer, cream together butter and sugars on medium speed; until light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract, peanut butter, and an egg; mix until combined.
- Slowly add flour mixture to wet ingredients; mix just until combined.
- Scoop dough into 2 teaspoon balls, or use a #60 disher to scoop balls of dough. Place dough on an ungreased baking sheet or silicone mat/parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Flatten dough balls with a fork in a criss-cross pattern.
