Chef John'S Peanut Butter Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/2 cup unsalted butter
    1/2 cup white sugar
    1/2 cup packed brown sugar
    1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
    1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
    1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    1 egg
    1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
Preparation
    Beat butter, white sugar, brown sugar, peanut butter, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a stand mixer until smooth.
    Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beater with a spatula. Add egg and mix for about 1 minute.
    Slowly mix in flour with the mixer on low. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beater. Mix on medium until combined, about 30 seconds.
    Form dough into a ball, cover with plastic and refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
    Portion out cookie dough in equal-sized balls on a baking sheet covered with a silicone baking mat. Use damp hands to roll dough into smooth balls. Stamp each ball with a fork in a criss-cross pattern.
    Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes until golden.
    Leave on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
