Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and creamy peanut butter until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until the dough is fully blended. Be careful not to overmix.
If desired, scoop out approximately 1.5 tablespoons of dough per cookie, roll into balls, and coat in granulated sugar for a slightly crunchy exterior.
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Use a fork to gently flatten each ball and create a criss-cross pattern on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft. The cookies will continue to set as they cool.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your OMG Peanut Butter Cookies with a cold glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
