Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine softened butter, crunchy peanut butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, an egg, and vanilla extract.
  • Once mixed, sprinkle in flour, baking soda and baking powder to form a dough.
  • Roll the dough into 2-inch sized balls, coat in egg white, then roll in the peanut and sprinkle mixture from earlier.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden on the edges. Let cool completely on the baking sheets before enjoying.
