Ingredients:
| ½ | cup butter, softened |
| ½ | cup brown sugar |
| ½ | cup white sugar |
| ¾ | cup peanut butter |
| 1 | egg |
| 1½ | teaspoons vanilla |
| 1⅓ | cup flour |
| ½ | teaspoon baking powder |

Preheat oven to 350° F.
Cream together butter and sugars until fluffy. Mix in peanut butter, egg, and vanilla. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add the flour mixture to the peanut butter mixture, and mix until combined.
