Instructions

1. Beat the butter until creamy, 2 minutes. Add the brown sugar and white sugar, and beat for 2 more minutes. Mix in the peanut butter and the egg.
2. In a separate bowl, vigorously whisk together the dry ingredients—the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Stir the dry ingredients into the sugar butter mixture.
3. Wrap dough in plastic and refrigerate at least 3 hours.
4. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees C.
5. Shape the dough into balls. Place the balls of dough apart on ungreased cookie sheets (unlined sheets are fine, though you can use parchment paper to line them, if you like). Flatten in a crisscross pattern with a fork. (It helps to dip the fork in sugar to keep it from sticking to the dough.)
6. Bake at 190 degrees C until light brown, about 9 to 10 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven and let cool in their baking sheets for a minute. After 1 minute, transfer the cookies to a rack to cool completely.
