Beat together 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 speed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beater. Continue mixing until dough comes together, about 30 seconds.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.

Portion cookie dough into equal-sized balls and place on the prepared baking sheet. Use damp hands to roll dough into smooth balls. Stamp each ball with a fork in a criss-cross pattern.

For softer cookies, donā€™t overbake themā€”keep an eye on them after 8 minutes in the oven.Use a silicone baking mat to ensure even baking and prevent sticking.Chilling the dough helps to prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking.For a decorative touch, sprinkle a little coarse sugar on top after stamping with the fork.
