3/4 cup (170 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup (105 grams) light brown sugar
1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated white sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup (185 grams) peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
2 cups (280 grams) all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped peanuts or 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
In the bowl of your electric mixer (or with a hand mixer), cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy (about 2 - 3 minutes). Beat in the peanut butter. Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat to combine. In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to the peanut butter mixture and beat until incorporated.
Cover and chill the dough for about an hour. Then, on a lightly floured surface, roll the dough to about a 1/4 inch thickness. Using a lightly floured 3 inch (7.5 cm) cookie cutter, cut out the cookies. Transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheet, placing about 2 inches (5 cm) apart. Then, using the end of a toothpick, score the tops of the cookies, making a crisscross pattern. Place the baking sheet, with the cookies, in the refrigerator to firm up for about 10 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C) and place rack in center of oven.
Bake the cookies for about 12 to 14 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly browned around the edges. Immediately upon removing the cookies from the oven, sprinkle the tops of the cookies with a little granulated sugar. Cool on a wire rack.

A very easy recipe is to mix together 1 cup peanut butter, 1 cup sugar (white or brown it's your choice) 1 egg mix well. Roll a bit into a ball and place on baking sheet. Once baking sheet is full and you have left 1 inch of space between balls, tip tines of fork first in water then in sugar and press into cookie ball to flatten. It looks pretty if you press first one way then another direction. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in a 350 degree oven. move to wire racks to cool.

I just tried a new one from BettyCrocker.com that uses yellow cake mix instead of flour. I made them yesterday and they were really good. They're called New-fashioned Peanut Butter Cookies.

Hi !!!
Here are a few recipes that I use:
Chocolate-Dipped Peanut Butter Cookies
A dressed-up peanut butter cookie.
Ingredients
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup peanut butter
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup vanilla baking chips
Directions
Cream the butter and peanut butter together. Add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy, then add in egg and vanilla. Mix until just combined. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Add to creamed mixture. Shape dough into a roll about 2-inches in diameter. Wrap in wax paper and chill at least three hours in the refrigerator.
When ready to bake, remove the wax paper and cut into ¼-inch slices. Place 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for about 10 minutes. Remove and let cool.
While cookies are baking, place the chocolate and vanilla chips in two microwave-safe bowls. Microwave or one minute, then stir. Continue in 30-second intervals until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Take the cooled cookie and dip halfway into either the white or dark chocolate. Let the excess drip back into the bowl, then set the cookie on a sheet of wax paper to dry. Alternate using the white and dark chocolate until all cookies are dipped.
Suggestions
For a fancier cookie, let the white chocolate dry, then dip the other half into the dark chocolate. Red and green sprinkles can also be added, if you desire.
