Power

1.5 c AP flour

3/4 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp kosher salt

1/2 c butter

1/2 c sugar

1/2 c brown sugar

1 egg

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 c peanut butter

flakey salt

Preheat the oven to 400 degree

Line a half sheet with parchment paper

Mix dry ingredients together in one bowl

Mix wet ingredients together in the bowl of a stand mixer or one that can accommodate a hand mixer

Adding the wet ingredients together in the order listed seems to provide the best consistency

Add the dry to the wet in 4-5 small batches, letting the wet thoroughly absord the dry before adding another batch of the dry.

Divide the dough into 8-9 balls and place on the parchment lined baking sheet

Using a fork, press down on the top of the cookies slightly, then rotate 90 degrees, creating a crosshatch

If desired, sprinkle with flakey salt

Bake for 15-18 minutes

The cookies might seem underdone when first taken out of the oven, but will firm up as they cool, but still stay tender
