- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined and creamy.
- Add the egg to the butter mixture and beat until thoroughly incorporated. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.

- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
