    # Ingredients

    * 1 cup brown sugar, tightly packed
    * ½ cup peanut butter, creamy or chunky
    * ½ cup unsalted butter, softened but not melty
    * 1 egg, room temperature
    * 1 ¼ cups all purpose flour
    * ½ teaspoon baking soda
    * ½ teaspoon baking powder
    * ⅛ tsp table salt

    # Instructions

    * Preheat oven to 375F with rack on lower middle position.
    * In the bowl of a stand-mixer, beat together the brown sugar, peanut butter, butter, and egg on medium speed until creamy.
    * Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; mix on low speed just until combined. Do not over-mix.
    * Shape dough into 1 ½ inch dough balls and place 3 inches apart on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. If desired, use fork to slightly flatten each dough ball just enough to create criss-cross design.
    * Bake 10-11 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Let cool on baking sheet 5 minutes before transferring to cool completely on wire rack before serving.
