Ingredients

½ cup (113.5 g) Butter unsalted
½ cup (100 g) Sugar
½ cup (110 g) Light brown sugar
½ cup (129 g) Peanut butter creamy
½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 Egg
1 ½ cup (187.5 g) All-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon Baking soda
½ teaspoon Baking powder
½ teaspoon Kosher Salt
36 Milk chocolate Wilbur Buds

Instructions

Weigh or measure both sugars into a bowl and set it aside. In a separate bowl, weigh or measure the flour, then add the baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine.
Cube the room-temperature butter into the mixer bowl. Cream the butter on medium speed for about a minute. Add the peanut butter and mix until fully combined, with no visible lumps or streaks of butter remaining.
Add the sugars and mix on medium speed for 3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract, then blend until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the flour mixture. Mix just until incorporated—don’t overmix. Cover and chill the dough for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C or 180°C). Line two cookie sheet pans with parchment paper and grab a small cookie scoop. Add about ⅓ cup of granulated sugar to a bowl.
Using the scoop, portion out some cookie dough and roll it into a ball with your hands. Place it in the bowl of sugar and coat it completely. Transfer the coated dough ball to the prepared sheet pan. Continue until you have 12 sugar-coated balls on the pan. Bake for 8–10 minutes, removing them from the oven once you see cracks forming on the surface.
After removing the cookies from the oven, press a Wilbur Bud into the center of each one. Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack to let the chocolate set and harden.
