Steps
Sequence Step
1In a large bowl with electric mixer, or in a stand mixer, beat butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup of brown sugar until light and fluffy.
2Beat in egg and vanilla until thoroughly blended.
3In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt and mix into the butter mixture until just combined.
4Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of brown sugar on top of the dough and lightly fold in with a spatula so the sugar granules are still visible.
5Roll heaping teaspoons of dough into balls and place 2 in apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
6Using the bottom of a glass, press each ball into 1/4 in circle.
7Bake at 375 for 5-8 minutes.
