Step 1
Heat oven to 375°. Whisk together flour, salt, and baking soda in a bowl; set aside. Combine peanut butter and butter in a large bowl; beat on medium-high with a hand mixer until smooth, about 3 minutes. Add half the sugar and brown sugar and beat until fluffy, 3 minutes more. Add vanilla and egg; beat until combined, about 2 minutes more. Slowly add in dry ingredients and beat until combined.
