- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the peanut butter mixture, mixing just until a soft dough forms.
