Recipe below contains my modifications.

Ingredients:

6 T. unsalted butter

1/2 c. creamy peanut butter

3/4 c. brown sugar (packed)

1 large egg

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

150g (1 1/4 c.) all-purpose flour (you may need just a tad more, depending on the peanut butter used)

sugar, for coating

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment and set aside.

2. In a large, microwave-safe bowl. melt the butter and peanut butter together (watch carefully to not overheat).

3. Stir until mixture is combined/homogenous. Whisk in the brown sugar.

4. Whisk in the egg and vanilla until well-combined, followed by the salt and baking soda.

5. Stir in the flour until stiff dough forms. Add a tsp. or two more of flour if needed to achieve dough texture (I had to do this).

6. Place some sugar in a small bowl. Form small dough balls, then toss in the sugar to coat. Place dough balls on prepared baking sheets. Use a fork to flatten dough balls (I make a criss-cross pattern).

7. Bake for 10-12 min. Cookies will be slightly puffy when ready to remove from oven. Let cool for 8 min on baking sheets before transferring to cooling rack. Enjoy!
