Ingredients

1 ¼ cups sifted all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup butter
½ cup peanut butter
½ cup white sugar
½ cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup white sugar for rolling

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
Cream together butter, peanut butter, 1/2 cup white sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in egg, then stir in vanilla. Gradually blend in flour mixture until combined.
Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in 1/2 cup white sugar, then place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Use fork times to make a crisscross pattern on each dough ball.
Bake in the preheated oven until edges are set, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool slightly, then remove cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
